Four times faster to say.
Three seconds to read.

Talking runs at about 150 words a minute, typing at about 40. In a Word gives the fast half to both of you.

How it works

You talk. They get the point.

01

Just talk

Hit record and say it the way you'd say it out loud. Ramble, pause, change your mind. The ums and false starts never reach the other side.

02

It lands as a word

Your note arrives as one word, one line and the questions you asked, with one-tap answers. They get it in three seconds, and listen only if they want to.

03

One link, anywhere

Every note is a link. Paste it into an email, Slack, WhatsApp or a text, and the preview already shows the word. Nothing to install at the other end.

04

Answers come back as words

They tap an answer or reply by voice, no account needed. Their reply comes back to you as a word of its own.

Made for replies

Every answer is a word back.

The people you send to don’t need an account to answer. One tap, or hold to talk, and their reply arrives as a word of its own. Conversations that used to take a thread take two words.

FAQ

Good questions.

Does the person I send it to need an account?

No. They open the link and see the word, the summary and your questions straight away. They can answer or reply by voice without signing up.

What exactly do they see?

A one-word verdict, a one-line summary, any questions you asked with one-tap answers, the full transcript, and your voice if they want to hear it.

Where can I send a word?

Anywhere you can paste a link: email, Slack, WhatsApp, Messages, LinkedIn. The link preview shows the word, so they get the gist before they open it.

What if the AI gets the word wrong?

You see the word and summary before you share, and you can edit either. Your recording and full transcript always travel with it.

How long can a word be?

Talk for as long as you need. Most words are under two minutes, which is exactly when they help most.

Is my voice private?

Each word lives at an unguessable link that only people you share it with can open. Data is stored in London, and you can delete any word at any time.

How much does it cost?

It's free to start. We'll introduce paid plans for heavy use and teams, and tell you well before anything changes.
