Hey PH! Over the last few months, something wild has happened. People aren't just using Willow for the occasional email. They're replacing up to 97% of their typing with voice. The keyboard is becoming optional. Now, we've built the best dictation experience for teams. Here's what keeps happening: one person at a company tries Willow, loves it, and tells their coworker. Then their coworker tells their manager. Before we know it, 15 people at the same company are all using Willow, but every single one of them had to add custom vocabulary terms like names and terms. That's what today's launch fixes. One person adds your company's terms, acronyms, and jargon and every team member gets accurate dictation from day one. Create a shared shortcut like "customer support shortcut" and anyone on the team can dictate a template instantly. This makes us the obvious who want to work faster together with enterprise-grade security and privacy built in. Try it with your team and lmk what you think!

@allan_guo Let's go! This one is a killer for teams.

Typing all day is exhausting - speaking is just so much faster and more natural. Willow feels like the obvious next step for how we should be working.

The shared team vocabulary is a game changer. No more everyone manually adding the same company names and acronyms one by one. One person sets it up, the whole team benefits from day one.

Does it work well in meetings where multiple people are speaking at the same time?

Congrats on the launch!

How does it tackle differences in accents and language level?

@viktorgems Willow dictates perfectly in 100+ languages. What languages would you use with Willow?

Victor N

I meant accents and different levels of possession for the same language

@viktorgems I just tried it. I think they handle accent detection pretty well, but maybe not dialects.

Yester I got this product from a Facebook post. Since that time am still commenting on this or texting about anything using Willow.

I appreciate the team for building this amazing product.

As someone that played with voice dictation when I was a kid but being frustrated at how slow it was and how precise my enunciation had to be... Really happy to see solutions like Willow pop up! Especially when there is a whisper mode!

The voice input experience isn't quite there yet, but the approach for the enterprise version is good! Keep up the great work!

I’ve been using the app for a bit and overall it’s pretty nice. The UI is great, the design and color choices are really well done. A couple things were a bit frustrating though:

  1. The Windows app launches every time at startup. For me this feels unnecessary, or at least it should be optional.

  2. I seem to get logged out every day or two, which means logging in again pretty frequently. That gets annoying over time 😠

  3. Sometimes the app doesn’t work properly, although to be fair that might have been related to my internet connection.

Overall I like the product and the design a lot.
