Stop & save
The shift
Less typing. More meaning.
Doc reviews get stuck when every note becomes a paragraph. Short voice notes linked to the words that matter keep feedback clear and human.
- 01
Tone
Speak the note so intent doesn’t get flattened into plain text.
- 02
Speed
Record in seconds instead of drafting a long comment thread.
- 03
Clarity
Point at the exact line, then explain it out loud.
How it works
Select. Record. Share.
Three steps from highlight to heard.
01
Select text in Docs
Highlight the sentence or paragraph you want to talk about. Feedback stays tied to that selection.
02
Record your voice note
Open the sidebar and speak. Intent, tone, and nuance land in seconds — not paragraphs.
03
Share a listen link
Collaborators open a simple listen page in the browser and play your note when they’re ready.

Everything you need to leave clearer, faster notes on Docs drafts.
Selection-linked context

Shareable listen links
Send a simple link — teammates play your note in the browser, no special app.
