In today's age of endless communication platforms, it's common to wonder, "Why do I need another app?" However, Carbon Voice is not just another communications app; it fills a large gap that has been ignored.

Communication apps have been optimized for making the desk-based, text-format workflow easier and asynchronous.

In contrast, Carbon Voice is designed to liberate voice-based conversations from the confines of scheduled meetings, making them easy to do while on-the-go.

How often is this needed? A LOT!

• Voice dominates half the work day, with the average worker spending 3 to 5 hours a day in calls or meetings. There is a pivotal moment when we say "let's talk about it". Regardless of the reason, whether it’s to more clearly communicate nuance, emotion, or just brainstorm more effectively, we do it, and we do it a lot.
• Our calendars control us by requiring synchronized times for voice conversations. Distributed work makes this issue worse. Asynchronous communication frees us from calendar tyranny, preserving focused work time and prioritizing discussions on merit.
• 80% of the global workforce do not work at a desk. Today’s communication  tools have catered to desk-based workers and have overlooked the unique needs of deskless workers. For these deskless workers, the phone remains the main communication tool, primarily for its hands-free utility. Even desk-based workers frequently travel, commute, or encounter moments when they're away from their screens.

1. Slack: Slack is great for desktop and structured text-heavy communication, and Carbon Voice fills the gap when you need to have a conversation, especially while on-the-go, where you are distracted and network quality can be poor.

3. Loom: Loom excels for screen sharing or sharing a personal video. Carbon Voice is great for moments when you don’t need or want a video, but a back-and-forth discussion is required. Adding a Loom URL to a Carbon Voice message combines Loom’s visuals with the conversational ease of Carbon Voice.

Transcripts, AI summaries and Action items make the discussion easy to turn into action.
