Hey Product Hunt! 👋 When we switch to remote work, we created Optic to help our meetings run smoother. One of my FAVORITE features is when I’m spacing out during a video call and someone asks me a question — Optic transcribes the meeting in real-time so I can see what they asked me — no more embarrassment from getting caught spacing out! I also really love Optic’s ChatGPT integration that summarizes your meetings I also really love Optic because it shows me how fast and how much I’ve been talking. It has helped me slow down my WPM speaking rate when I’m presenting and also cut down on rambling! I'm happy to answer any questions and would love to hear what you think! Cheers, Shannon

@shanander Thi sis a cool launch, congrats to you. I love the summarization aspect, as well as showing how much someone has been talking, it's great for meeting organizers to ensure they're being fair with the meeting time. In the same vain, it's great for employees that want to make a case for not being able to get their point across, allow them to validate with data.
Great to see tools like Optic helping remote teams stay effective! The real-time transcription sounds like a game-changer for maintaining focus and ensuring clear communication during meetings. By the way, does Optic offer additional features for managing action items post-meeting?

@ricardo_luz thank you very much for your comment! We're collecting feedback on priority integrations right now, one of which would be Asana for exporting tickets from meeting transcripts. Would that be helpful in your use case?

This tool looks like it could benefit my team organization wide. There is a real need that Optic fulfills in capturing missed dialog. Having a summary of each meeting is a tremendous resource.

Love it! Specially love that it can summarise the meeting and showing your WPM is a nice touch. Best of luck with the launch!

Besides real-time transcription and WPM tracking, what are other advantages of using Optic, than let’s say Fireflies?

@kalingwu thank you for your question! Optic runs completely on-device, so no awkward meeting bots to explain around. We also provide a chat interface to ChatGPT pre-prompted with meeting context so you can get assistance in real-time. In our next update this week, we'll be rolling out facial expression analysis which is our main differentiator.

@ethan_petersen thank you for the response. The running on-device feature is attractive. It might worth make it stands out more, along with all your other features (maybe I missed it somewhere). Will give it a try!

@kalingwu @ethan_petersen Super interesting. What will the facial expression analysis do? Is it feedback for me the speaker on how I'm presenting myself? Not sure if this is helpful but I'm someone who religiously uses "Hide self view" in video calls. I could see this being useful if it could give me light feedback on framing or expression while allowing me to keep myself hidden.

Optic’s summary feature is great for reenforcing important communications through the summarizing feature. This tightens up the roll meetings play in the sharing of information and moving projects forward. There’s a lot of efficiency to be captured through with the use of this app. Very insightful.
