🎙 Building in Public: Trying to Land Our First $1 at SpeakNotes

I made https://www.speaknotes.xyz to fix a real frustration — transcribing long podcasts was slow, messy, and expensive.

Now, you can upload a 2-hour episode and get a clean, 99.99% accurate transcript in under 60 seconds.

✨ 2 hours free to try
🎁 10% off PRO/STUDIO for early users

I'm learning out loud and would love your feedback to help me, a first-timer learn and grow.
What would help you stick around or upgrade?

    I am also building something and I like you idea

      hi @purva thanks for writing in. I wish you good luck :) what are you building ?

    This is slick. The speed alone is a standout, but the thing that matters most is how clean the output feels. Most transcription tools fall apart on real conversations or anything with crosstalk.
    If you keep accuracy high on messy audio, people will stick. The real question for me is how it handles accents, overlap, and low-quality recordings. That’s where most tools still break.

      Hey @bluejavasharp, thanks for the supportive words, really appreciate :)
      That is a great insight, a real problem to be solved. I believe this should be out in version 3. v2 is all about shareability and speaker diarization.

      Did you try out speaknotes?

    That first $1 usually comes down to one very specific moment of clarity for the user.

    Right now, what do you think is the exact trigger that would make someone pull out their card — and how quickly can you test that with the next 2–3 users?
