The average person types 36 words a minute on a phone. But, they can say it four times faster. Essential Voice turns your speech into clear, ready-to-use writing.

🔭 Essential Space makes capturing and organising information easier. Smart Collections can suggest relevant captures for new or existing collections, and spot common topics worth grouping together. MCP support will also let compatible AI tools search and read selected information from Essential Space. It will be read-only at launch, with support rolling out through Google Play in October.

I flew to London and spent the day with Carl Pei, co-founder and CEO of Nothing. Carl already helped build one breakout phone company with OnePlus. Now he’s doing it again with Nothing, but in a much harder market. Most phone companies compete on the same things: better cameras, faster chips, bigger batteries, and slightly brighter screens. Nothing made a different bet: make the product instantly recognizable, make the software feel considered, and make the brand something people actually want to be part of. I went behind the scenes with Carl and the team to see how they're building the next great consumer electronics company. Full episode below. @getpeid @nothing

Essential Space now stays with you. Cloud storage keeps your notes, screenshots, voice captures, images, tasks and summaries backed up and synced through your Nothing account. So when you move to a new phone or reset your device, your Space comes with you.

Better than basic transcription, Essential Voice removes filler words, cleans up small mistakes, and helps structure your thoughts into clearer writing. It can also format your speech into lists or step-by-step instructions when that fits what you're saying.
