My fitness and life coach uses loom for communicating short messages to me since he primarily sends video messages. The subtitles and transcriptions feature is quite nice in my opinion since I can’t hear.

As a tool that bridges the gap between hearie and deaf, it’s invaluable to me. Innovative? Probably not but it’s easy enough for a gymbro to figure out how to use so it’s doing something the others are not.

Side note with a bunch of complaining: if the various messengers could add automatic captions and transcripts it would be nice and it’s disgraceful that none of the ones I use have done so yet. Until that happens I’ll keep getting loom links sent to me in video notes and being forced to use teams and zoom for remote calling.
