Better than expected, but terrible at differentiating voices

Using for business meetings on Zoom and Meet. My first frustration was that it was giving me terrible suggestions, but even so I could tell that it was just lacking the context of previous conversations. I forgave that. My biggest problem is that it cannot tell who is talking if they're the same assumed gender. It's telling me to follow up on things that I just assigned to someone else, it's suggesting I ask a follow up question on something I just presented, it's a mess.

Told it that a particular meeting was going to be contentious and that I needed help knowing when we were going around in circles, how to better communicate when someone else just doesn't have the knowledge and skills I do and it frustrates me, and most importantly to tell me when to shut up and move on. It did with flying colors. "Try explaining it this way" and then "It's time to table this and move on." WHEW!

I used it for a doctor appointment. It got the medical jargon wrong, but it captured my task options perfectly.

Used it while I was setting up some software, so as I had ideas I could simply say out loud "I need to remember that when X happens, we will need to do Y" so I could capture those action items and port them into my project tasks. Amazing. It also have me a couple suggestions for other follow ups that were useful.

Where it really shines is in my parenting conversations. I've had a couple chats with my 9 year old and I was able to both stay present rather than trying to remember the decisions we made, but it also gave me follow up questions that ended up being insightful and leading to productive discussions.

All in all, just the ability to grab action items and list them all in a logical order is worth every penny I paid. With continued context I think its suggestions in meetings will get better. I just need it to have the ability to read who is actually speaking, much better than it does.

Thanks for the review and feedback! I love hearing that you are able to use Hedy for parenting conversations as well... that just shows how versatile the use cases for Hedy are.

Speaker differentiation is something we are constantly working on, and I agree we still have work ahead of us. If you are on macOS or iOS, I highly recommend trying the new model that we added last week (Nemotron) for speech recognition (Settings --> Speech & AI), as it handles speaker separation better. If you are on Android or Windows, we expect to have that model available in the next coming weeks as well.
