Vowel Closure
In a sudden and recent development, Vowel, the transcription service, announced it will be ceasing operations. We understand this news is disheartening to the many people that routinely used their product, and you're likely left wondering what comes next. If you're in need of a Vowel alternative, SoWork has you covered.
SoWork Highlights
SoWork is an exceptional alternative tool, offering much of the features that were staples in Vowel. Want to continue your team's productivity without missing a beat? Well, SoWork is here to save the day! Below you'll find feature comparisons, highlights, and steps to make your transition to SoWork as smooth as possible.
A delightful difference from Vowel is that in SoWork, your team has a place to work together. You're able to choose your avatar and customize your office in any way you'd like! There's plenty of room for your entire team, and opportunities for bonding are endless as meetings can be planned or spontaneous - all by just walking up to someone!
On top of being a place for team connection and productive meetings, SoWork was the first smart digital office on the market, with their Sophia Bot providing AI generated meeting notes, summaries, and action items. Just like in Vowel, the main themes of the meeting are clear, and your action items are ready to go. Need to catch up on what you've missed or refer to the notes/action items throughout the week? That's all at your fingertips in SoWork.
Teams save hours by using SoWork, helping them be as efficient as possible while sparking moments of effortless collaboration. Similar to Vowel, you're able to integrate your calendar, record your meeting, edit your meeting notes, and share the notes with your teammates.
