I suspect that you wouldn't want it, and yet, there are loads of people willing to sign up for a service like this. I have seen similar services which seem to get users and charge a hefty monthly.
Personally, I have been doing this so long that text feels normal for me. I think the key for me has been to work with people who are able to shoot across a lot of information without the need to say much. For most of the people I work with, I can sort of read their mind. For a small number of others, text becomes a chore. The occasional chores are a reminder that not everyone feels at home working from home. Maybe this sort of service could be useful for them.
- jon-wood 5y agoI’ll second people needing to be able to write succinctly for things like Slack to work. There’s a strong divide in my job between engineers, who will dive straight in with a bunch of detail on what they need help with, and non-engineers who will just say “Hi, how are you?” and then wait to be promoted as to what it is they need.
