Nobody wants to listen to a 3-minute voice note. And typing long updates on a phone is a nightmare.
So we took Letterly beyond our app. Now you can dictate clean text inside ANY mobile app.
📱 iOS: Custom keyboard
🤖 Android: Floating bubble

We’ve finally brought Letterly to Windows as a native app. And it features system-wide Dictation.
Instead of a standard window, just hit Ctrl + Win anywhere, speak, and watch it type polished text right at your cursor.
Get the app: apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n…

Google launched an AI dictation app. 5 minutes in, it is clear why @letterlyai has nothing to worry about. Why does Google keep winning at research and losing at consumer apps?

Guy makes $250,000 per month with a VERY simple app.
Keep. it. simple. stupid!
@Samarsky and I talked for a few hours. Here’s the top 4% of our chat:

MORE FEATURES ARE KILLING YOUR STARTUP
This guy makes $250K/month with LESS FEATURES THAN YOU.
Instead of adding more features, he ruthlessly removes them.
And instead, focuses on what users ACTUALLY care about:
> UX
> Simplicity
> "Is this easy to use?"
UX > features > code

I am watching my night movie before sleep 😴

Go follow this guy if you’re into bootstrapped SaaS.
Their approach to marketing and product is killer. Anton’s office is in the same space as mine.
Seen how they build it up close.
They’re the real deal.
We spend $200k/month on ads.
This money comes entirely from revenue. We’re 100% bootstrapped.
Why not just take profit now?
For the first 1.5 years, Letterly grew with $0 ad spend: word of mouth + a few viral moments. It worked — but it was random.
To make growth predictable, we now reinvest almost everything into paid ads. Sometimes we even lose money in month 1 — but LTV pays it back later.
Small salaries. Long-term focus.
Goal: millions per month, not quick profit.

Hey @TeamYouTube it's been almost 24 hours and still no word from you guys.
Your response (or lack thereof) not only affects me, but affects our team of 8 producers, editors, and others worldwide that work across the channel.
I'm afraid to do anything with the channel right now, so I would just appreciate ANY answers or information you can give.
If you can email, comment, DM me, ANYTHING, that would be greatly appreciated.
WOW! @YouTube removed our latest Starter Story video.
Not even demonetized…. 100% DELETED!
They claim we violated their "dangerous content policy" by claiming "guaranteed returns" or promoting a pyramid scheme (we never, ever do that sort of thing).
Guys... this could be the end of Starter Story!
If this happens 2 more times OUR ENTIRE CHANNEL WILL BE DELETED!
As you know starter story is an interview show - we interview the underdog founders - the type of people who wouldn't get covered by any other media outlets.
And for this video specifically, we vetted the story, did our due diligence, and everything (as we always do)
If our YouTube videos helped you in any way over the years, I'd love if you tagged @TeamYouTube in the replies. I hope to keep making content for you guys but man this is scary...

The CEO of @ProductHunt said we should @ him. Well, @rajivayyangar, I want you to know that when an inspired startup founder launches on your platform and then sees 90 points instead of the 500, it feels like a slap in the face, like mockery. You are mocking startup founders😔

Letterly just got a shoutout on one of Puerto Rico’s top TV channels! 🎉 Huge thanks to @obedborrero and @NoticentroWAPA

@Letterlyai just hit over 25k installs. I know it's a vanity metric, but we're still proud of it :)

I haven't had the time to use it yet, but for transcriptions you could also use @letterlyai
ChatGPT's voice recognition is fantastic.
It’s not perfect, but it’s still much better than what you can find in other applications.
I have no doubt that they will all improve over time, but at the moment there is no other application I know that allows such accurate transcription.
As a result, I rarely use my computer keyboard to write emails lately. Even for other types of texts.
I walk around with my iPhone while dictating what needs to be transcribed.
Then I copy the transcription to the notes app on my iPhone and retrieve it on my Mac.
I copy the transcription and paste it into the email or document I'm writing.
Not only do I feel like I save time, but this also helps me avoid sitting for long periods throughout the day.
This is something to keep in mind if you are a teacher or a researcher.
Of course, I correct the transcription on the computer, but usually the message is already very well written by the time I get to that point
It’s fantastic.
