TinyVoicemail
Visual voicemail for the modern age.
TinyVoicemail was a visual voicemail service that worked with your existing phone number. You’d forward your missed calls to us, we’d act as your voicemail, then transcribe the message using Google Cloud Speech and send it wherever you Slack, email, Zapier, webhooks, your HRM, whatever.
It was $5 a month for unlimited everything. No per-message fees, no hidden costs.
The features that people liked: conditional greetings (give your friends a different greeting than your grandma), privacy controls to block callers from reaching your voicemail, MP3 exports, notes on messages, and integrations with Slack, Trello, Dropbox, and Zapier. It worked with T-Mobile, AT&T, Sprint, and Verizon—basically anyone that allowed conditional call forwarding.
The whole thing ran on Twilio for the telephony and Google Cloud Speech for transcription. It was a straightforward product that solved a specific problem: carrier voicemail is stuck in 1995, and this made it modern.
