Voice-to-Text Input for Faster Retrospectives

Capture your thoughts at the speed of speech with the new Voice-to-Text feature. Add retrospective items by simply speaking—no typing required. Perfect for rapid brainstorming sessions and reducing the friction between thinking and documenting.

What's New

Instant Voice Capture

Click the microphone icon in any retrospective input field and start speaking. Your voice is automatically converted to text using AI-powered transcription, allowing you to capture complex thoughts and detailed feedback in seconds rather than minutes.

Seamless Integration

Works everywhere you add items: The microphone button appears in all input fields throughout your retrospectives, making voice input available whenever you need it.

Smart transcription: Advanced AI accurately converts your speech to text, handling natural speech patterns, pauses, and corrections intelligently.

Edit before adding: Review and refine the transcribed text before submitting, ensuring accuracy while still saving significant time.

Why It Matters

Typing can slow down the creative flow during retrospectives, especially when team members are trying to capture nuanced feedback or multiple thoughts quickly. The mental shift from thinking to typing often means ideas get simplified or lost entirely.

Voice-to-Text removes this barrier by letting you speak naturally and capture complete thoughts effortlessly. This means:

  • Faster retrospectives: Reduce the time spent typing, keeping sessions moving and energy high

  • Richer feedback: Capture detailed, nuanced insights without the tedium of typing lengthy explanations

  • Better accessibility: Support team members who prefer speaking over typing or have accessibility needs

  • More participation: Lower the barrier for quick contributions, encouraging everyone to share their thoughts

Available now for all Kollabe users. Start speaking your retrospective insights and let AI handle the rest.
