Vowel is a video conferencing tool that helps you 10x the value of your meetings. Meet, transcribe, record, clip, search, and share video meetings in one spot — no add-ons required! And take Vowel meetings from anywhere with our new mobile app (iOS & Android).
Hey Product Hunt! 👋
Earlier this year, you made Vowel the #1 Product of the Day, making us an even stronger contender in the video conferencing space.
Today, we want to show you how Vowel has completely changed traditional video conferencing by turning your meetings into searchable, shareable knowledge.
In meetings, you're sharing ideas. You're getting people to agree. You’re giving feedback. You're making big decisions. But when the meeting is over, all of that just disappears. Why let all that knowledge go to waste? The fastest growing remote teams aren't — they're using Vowel.
With Vowel, not only can you host more engaging and focused meetings — you can have infinite recall of the insights and decisions that come out of those conversations, so they don’t get stuck in time.
Here’s what’s new to help you 10x the value of your meetings:
🔈Even faster live transcription + recording - Easily record, transcribe, and take shared notes in every meeting to build a library of company knowledge, instantly.
🔍 Universal search - Remember anything that happened, ever, with a universal search across your meeting transcripts, notes, and action items.
✂️ Clips - Trim, share, and save clips to provide timely context into technical issues, decisions, or customer insights.
🔖 Bookmarks - Mark and categorize important meeting moments as they happen, then quickly share or revisit them later.
↩️ One-click export - Integrate important knowledge across all your productivity tools.
🗒️ Recurring notes - Start right where you left off. Quickly reference past notes and action items in a current meeting, so nothing falls through the cracks.
📱 Mobile app (iOS and Android) - Attend Vowel meetings on the go, and easily join the discussion, transcribe, record, and see shared notes.
🔒 Best-in-class security - Vowel is now SOC2 Type II compliant, which ensures strict information and security policies.
What Vowel can unlock for remote teams:
✅ Remember anything that happened in a meeting
✅ Reduce meeting fatigue
✅ Get better at async communication
✅ Share and be more inclusive across time zones
✅ Build an awesome remote onboarding experience
✅ Cut down on the number of tools in your tech stack

@vowelhq@andrew_berman Does each member have it's own 120 mins? Or do they all share the same limits
Hi @nok_moe, each member can have meetings up to 50 minutes (on the free plan), up to 120 minutes (on the Pro plan), and up to 10 hours (on the Business Plan). This is the time limit for an individual meeting — there's no cap on how many meetings you can have! Let me know if that makes sense or check out https://www.vowel.com/pricing/
@vowelhq@andrew_berman congrats on the launch upvoted and fabulous work. check out ours as well and would love your feedback

Vowel is a top-notch video conferencing software with capabilities many other tools lack. I particularly like the fact that I can see the time each attendee has spoken so we can give more speaking time to those whose voice hasn't been heard much during an internal or external call. Also, the fact that you can have your own meeting room (e.g., meeting link) and share it with others to jump on a call within seconds with no friction whatsoever makes the whole meeting experience much more enjoyable. Well done on the launch, and way to go to the amazing team at Vowel! 🙏🏻
I'm a power user of Vowel for quite a while. What can I say - I'm lovin' it. This tool shifted my meetings paradigm from trying to note and keep track of everything during the call to being THERE and listening 100%.
Truly a gamechanger.
@michal_domanski Amazing! I love hearing about how Vowel has changed the way people have meetings — especially in terms of being able to focus on being there and listening vs scrambling to transcribe and take detailed notes. Thanks for the kind words and for being a Vowel Power user!

Its really easy to use and the features it has are really great and useful
I have used Vowel with a team of 50+ 100% remote workers for a few months. We LOVE Vowel, one of those products you don't have to think about. It's quick, reliable, and easy to use.
We use it for all internal calls as well as any calls with customers. The ability to record audio and video and a transcript are great for accountability for our team. It lets us see what our team told a customer if we forget.
I do onboarding calls with our new employees, and everyone can jump in. We also randomly do nonrecorded hangouts during the day, which is a lot of fun for a fully remote team like ours.
Whenever I join a call on a platform like Webex or zoom, I cringe, but Vowel makes it so easy to hop on the call from any browser. No need to download anything. A few people on my team even joke that we need to show the other companies the light by telling them where we will be meeting.
We used Whereby before finding Vowel, but we tried Vowel and never looked back.
@joshsorenson Love hearing the onboarding use case! It's so useful to revisit and reuse those calls as new folks join the team.

@erin_letson1 For sure! It's nice too because it can save the person embarrassment if they need to review something. But still keeps the live element in it as we setup things to make sure they are working for them.
@jenny_zhai It is! We have a lot of PMs using Vowel. Vowel helps them stay on top of who is responsible for specific action items after meetings and they can look back on decisions that were made in past meetings with our global search. Can't wait for you to see how it helps you too.
@jenny_zhai Thanks! Give Vowel a spin, and let us know if we're solving your meeting pain and how we can do it better.

The best video conferencing software out there, just the right feature to talk, record and transcribe meetings - you can focus on talking only, rest is done by Vowel. Zoom is too much, Google Meet not enough, rest out there is corporate software (mord for robots then humans), where Vowel enables human communication perfectly.
@alexdziewulska The way I mostly describe it to people is Zoom and Meet built for video conferencing and they are being used for meeting. Vowel built as a meeting tool from the ground up. Thanks for your support!
Really cool idea, congrats!
I wonder how well the transcription supports different languages and how it does with stronger accents. Any experiences so far?
@erin_letson1@franziska_kroll Ah, I see. You're asking about how well we transcribe english with other accents? We have an international team as well! We have folks from 11 different countries on the team and we all use the transcription EVERY DAY to power so much goodness. I find that it's slightly less accurate with some accents, but overall VERY accurate and easy to quickly search and hop RIGHT BACK to a key moment you're trying to remember.
