Pop makes voice notes first class in everyday messaging. Amazing transcripts, a magic editor to summarise or clean up, edit the audio of your notes by editing the transcript & more.
The "edit audio by editing the transcript" is the standout. Descript made it work for podcasts, but I haven't seen it for messaging yet. Does the cut audio sound natural after a delete, or are there obvious seams?
Hey @john_colvin3! I really like the idea! Congrats on the launch. I use voice messages all the time, so this is super interesting. I am curious, what's the appeal to an app like this over traditional voice messaging in WhatsApp or Messages? Especially since users are able to go back and forth there with voice messages if they want.
the async focus is the right call to start with. the hardest part of voice messaging has always been that it's not editable in any meaningful way, so the transcript-based editing is a genuinely useful unlock. on the authenticity question you raised, i'd lean toward keeping it as a straight cut rather than ai-smoothing the audio. a slight glitch feels more human than a seamlessly stitched voice that isn't quite yours anymore.
Voice first messaging is the interface nobody built properly yet. Does Pop work async like voice notes, or is it expecting real time conversation?
During usage, does Pop keep the voice sounding natural after cuts, or does it get glitchy?

Pop was hunted by Joe Colvin. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it.
