Vowel 2.0 - Turn your meetings into searchable, shareable knowledge

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 Try Vowel for free Zoom and other big video conferencing players require an upgrade if you want to try transcription or recording. Not Vowel! These features are included (even on our free plan).

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! 🙏🏻

Congrats on the launch!

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.

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.

This looks like a great PM tool, can see it saving so much time - congrats on the launch!

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.

Really cool idea, congrats! I wonder how well the transcription supports different languages and how it does with stronger accents. Any experiences so far?

Amazing platform to make hybrid teams work together more successfully.

Must have for every online meeting! Congratulations folks 🥳 Can’t wait to try this one out

Sharing a clip of a meeting is really a feature I need that I haven't notice until I saw Vowel. Vowel seems like a practical video conferencing tool that will enhance team collaboration. Congratulations on your launch! 🚀

Congrats on the launch. I love that transcription is included, and the universal search will be so helpful.

I signed up I think last month, this is an incredible product. Congrats on the PH launch and thanks for the generous 3 month free plan

Wow, guys! Its sounds perfect for me, I definitely will try this

It has been incredibly fun to watch this product grow. The features being thought through and created are an incredible improvement.

This is a time saver for sure

I love this. Going to share with my team as we have folks all over the world and watching recorded zoom meetings just aren't the same. I like the idea of being able to search through the video and also share snippets from the meeting (that could be great for documentation too). I have a question though about the pricing - i see that you can host up to 12 participants per meeting, so what is a "member"? For instance, would each person on my team need an account? Or just the ones that host the meetings?

Your product is fantastic! It has helped me 10x the value of my meetings. The new mobile app is great too. Keep up the good work!

Waoo great launch! What was your launch strategy? Great product! Congrats
