Please don't offer this product without including a way to just read the transcriptions.

I don't want to have to listen to recorded voice messages coworkers send me, period.

I don't think you're hearing how clearly people are trying to tell you they don't want this. We understand the product you are building. We actively don't want it in the places where we work.

I disagree. Being able to send a quick voicemail to other people in a small, agile team with high interoperability and trust would be invaluable.

For idea leader management types, this would be great for putting their inspiration down in concrete form and sending action items to their implementers.

But for large, boring corporate teams with little to no autonomy and even a scintilla of micromanagement? This would be terrible. I would quit any company with more than 100 people in it that forced this on me on the spot.
