Overcoming Awkwardness of Speaking Alone in Open Office Spaces

Hi everyone, I’m Ronny from Oslo Norway. I work with StartupLab, which is a VC and incubator, I’m currently heading up the Construction industry program so I love to talk to talk construction tech with anyone. My biggest issue with TalkTastic is that I feel really fucking weird sitting in our open landscape and talking to my computer. If you have a good hack for, how to not make your colleagues look at you while you talk I’d love to learn 😂

    Yes, I feel you. Personally, I'm a bit shameless when it comes to this stuff. I work from home mostly, so I typically don't have that problem. My issue is that half the time I'm blasting music and trying to talk, and then you know there's background noise. I think as the product gets more robust and powerful, we'll probably offer strong predictive text that eliminates teh need for writing in some instances. So we'll understand what you think and how you respond and be able to just auto-generate responses for you. Maybe multiple versions that you can choose from without you having to say anything. It won't work in every case, but might help.

    After a while it's going to be weird that you're typing and wasting time and not talking to your computer.
