Overview
Vowel is a SaaS platform that helps remote teams manage meetings by recording, transcribing, and organizing conversations. Participants join with one click; the product automatically records and transcribes meetings, while real-time annotations, action-item tagging, and shareable highlights help capture outcomes. Additional features include rich text notes, clip sharing, and project- or feature-based channels to keep discussions organized. The goal is to turn spoken meetings into searchable, actionable information that supports product, engineering, UX research, operations, and customer success teams across distributed organizations.
