Just wanted to say I’ve been really enjoying using Vowel! Congrats on the launch Andy.
Andy Berman
@jatinsandilya Thanks!!!!!
Paul Fisher
@jatinsandilya Really appreciate it!
Anna Marie Clifton
@jatinsandilya Thanks so much! If you have any thoughts or feedback, I'd love to hear it as we're developing more EVERY week. Drop us a line via intercom or email (or here!)
Brian Wang
Congrats on 1.0! Been a huge fan of Vowel these last few months. Quick question: will we eventually be able to glance at notes from previous meetings during a call if those meetings are part of a recurring series?
Andy Berman
@brianmwang Yes! We also want to give you the ability to watch a previous quick in-line in the future!
Paul Fisher
@brianmwang You're also currently able to browse through notes from previous recurring meetings on our Upcoming Meetings view — I use this all of the time to help create the agenda for the next meeting in a series. It's especially useful to be able to pull in action items and status updates from last week's meeting.
Anna Marie Clifton
@brianmwang Love it!! We were talking about this very recently. The current plan is to bring in the most recent meeting's notes (below a dropdown) at the bottom. I'd love to hear if you're interested in more or if the most recent would suffice. We're looking to strike a balance of "Useful, and not cluttered"

Exciting potential! Are notes/transcripts able to be restricted to only certain participants? My example use case = call w/ me, my client and a 3rd party vendor. I wouldn't want 3rd party to automatically have access. sad note though....will there be other sign-in options besides just Google? How long until you provide pricing or even a ballpark?
Andrew Kordampalos
@clarkchambers Great questions Clark! Regarding the privacy question, if the 3rd party is not a member of your team, but they are a guest, you can restrict the access to your notes/transcription, and have them only participate in the call. @paultfisher and @anna_marie_clifton know more about the rest.
Paul Tepper Fisher
@clarkchambers As Andrew mentioned, Vowel allows you to specify whether guest users have access to certain features (like Notes). We also support Private Notes, which allows you to keep your notes entirely private (and you can also have a meeting with both private and shared notes). We have support for other sign-in options on our roadmap. So this will be coming in the near future. We will share details on pricing options for our paid plans soon!
Anna Marie Clifton
@clarkchambers +1 to what Andrew and Paul said. We'll be announcing paid plans in Q2 this year!

Already out of beta? Nice. So many new features since I last checked! More languages in live transcriptions is a game changer for me.
Paul Fisher
@michal_wysocki We've had a lot of requests for more languages — excited to be able to support teams across a broader range of languages now!
Anna Marie Clifton
@michal_wysocki Love to hear it! Let us know which (if any) additional languages you're looking for.
Renu Singh
its a great tool especially for someone like me who doesn't like scribbling down during video conferences.im definitely going to use it
Andy Berman
@latte360 Great! Let us know feedback!
Anna Marie Clifton
@latte360 Same! I LOVE not taking notes anymore (or only jotting down an occasional "here's what we're all agreeing to"... and knowing that EVERYONE on the call sees the same shared note... so everyone knows what we're agreeing to. Game changer!)
Paul Tepper Fisher
@latte360 Completely agree! Looking forward to hearing your impressions of Vowel!
Dragos Bulugean
I've checked the roadmap and looks interesting, will give Vowel a try. Congrats on the launch!
Andrew Kordampalos
@dragos_bulugean Thank you for your support, feel free to send us your feedback!
Anna Marie Clifton
@dragos_bulugean Thanks! I'd love to hear your feedback! We read every.single.piece of feedback and it really drives our product roadmap. I'd also love to hop on a quick call if you ever want to share more in depth!
Andy Berman
@dragos_bulugean As AMC said, we live and breath for feedback. Let us know!

We’ve been using Vowel at our startup for over a year. The transcription feature is a lifesaver! After long brainstorms, I’ll often give a spoken synopsis. Then, teammates who are interested can just search the transcript for “in summary”. I go back and watch summaries myself because long weekends tend to reset my brain’s RAM.
Andrew Kordampalos
@brooks_hassig Thank you for your support. We recently launched a new summary field, where you can type the meeting's summary when you are done, give it a try, and let us know your feedback.
Anna Marie Clifton
@brooks_hassig Oh! I love this use case!! It's so great providing value like this! I also have been saved time and again by the transcriptions, a day or two after a brainstorm I can remember the 72 ideas we had, but I can't remember which one we landed on... so easy to do a quick search for the idea, and pop back into context when I forget.
Paul Fisher
@brooks_hassig thank you for the kind words! It's truly inspiring to hear how Flux is leveraging Vowel. Adding a spoken synopsis to the end of your meetings sounds like a really clever and effective strategy!
Russell Smith
Just having notes alone would make this compelling over Zoom, but transcripts and agendas kills it for me!
Andy Berman
@rhs Thanks! We have a lot of features on the roadmap. Stay tuned.
Paul Tepper Fisher
@rhs Appreciate the positive feedback! There's definitely a synergy in combining notes, transcription, and agenda (as well as action-items, highlights, emojis, etc.) — when combined, meetings are more effective and productive. On top of that, team members can easily search on Vowel to find meetings they may have missed, or to review a particular discussion from several months back.
Anna Marie Clifton
@rhs You love to hear it! We built it all into one, designed for productive (and delightful) meetings. Zoom is the Pets.com of meeting software, lets you do what you could do offline... (see and hear people), but not much else. We're building the Meeting OS of the 21st century... doing what is only possible in digital native meetings!
Daniel Gal
Integrations with project management tools like ClickUp or Jira will make this product very strong! Godspeed!
Andy Berman
@den_colossyan It's coming shortly. We can't wait either!
Paul Tepper Fisher
@den_colossyan Thanks! Yes, we're very excited about continuing to add more integrations to Vowel!
Anna Marie Clifton
@den_colossyan Great feedback and great timing! We're working on those designs NOW!
