App that translates voice notes in WhatsApp?

The amount of voice notes I get in other languages is insane. Is there an app that can transcribe + translate them properly?

Do You Trust Amazon Baby Deals Anymore?

I'm so done with Amazon's fake baby product discounts and I need to vent.

Last week I was shopping for a stroller. Found one listed at $349 with a big red badge screaming 32% OFF! ORIGINALLY $515! Felt like I was winning. Did the responsible parent thing and checked the price history on CamelCamelCamel. Guess what? That stroller has never been $515. Ever. Not once. Its normal price for the past six months has been $349. Amazon just made up the "original price" to make me think I was getting a deal.​

I started checking everything after that. The baby monitor I almost bought? Listed as LIMITED TIME DEAL - 40% OFF! but the price had been exactly the same for three months. The sound machine showing $59.99, WAS $89.99? Never sold for $89.99 on Amazon. The car seat with the Lightning Deal badge? Same price as last week, just with a fake countdown timer to make me panic-buy.​

And don't even get me started on the third-party seller nightmare. You think you're buying from a trusted brand, but half the time it's some random seller with a sketchy name shipping knockoff products that could literally be dangerous for your baby. CNN literally crash-tested a fake car seat from Amazon and it failed safety standards, but it was listed right there next to real ones with Amazon's blessing.​​

I feel like I'm taking a business degree just to figure out if a baby product is actually safe, actually on sale, or actually real. It shouldn't be this hard.

The worst part is that there ARE real deals on Amazon hidden promo codes, clippable coupons, actual discounts buried in pages you'd never find unless you're actively hunting. But Amazon makes those invisible while plastering fake DEAL! badges everywhere to trick you into thinking you're saving money.​

I've started using Dealseek, which I found on IG, to find actual promo codes because I can't trust anything Amazon shows me anymore. The deals are fake. The limited time urgency is manufactured. And the third-party sellers are a complete gamble on whether you're getting safe products or counterfeit junk.​​

I'm buying baby stuff, not playing detective. But here we are.

Does anyone else feel like Amazon has completely destroyed any trust in their pricing? Or am I just being paranoid after spending too much time reading horror stories about fake baby products?

Trying to find something that actually works for a founder profile, not just a generic corporate look.

The use case is slightly different from a regular job seeker. As a founder you need a photo that reads as credible and approachable at the same time. It shows up on your LinkedIn, the company about page, press mentions, investor decks, and speaker bios. Ideally it looks consistent across all of those without being stiff or overly polished.

From what I have tested so far, the tools that produce the best results are the ones that train a model specifically on your photos rather than running you through a preset style. This AI headshot tool has been the most useful for this because the output still looks like you rather than a smoothed out version of a stock photo person.

Curious what other founders here are actually using. Is this something you have invested time in or does the founder photo tend to stay on the back burner while everything else takes priority?

Hey founders, I'm the founder of IndexerHub, an indexing tool that gets your site indexed on Google, Bing and LLMs. But this post isn't about that.

It's about what tools, strategies and content approach I used to get real visitors and actual sales from ChatGPT within 30 days of launching.

Quick disclaimer. This isn't my first launch so everything I'm sharing came from failing multiple times before getting it right.

The numbers first

Launched April 1st 2026. Here's the data since then.

1000+ visitors total. Around 700 from direct channels like Reddit, X and Facebook. 250 from Google and AI answers. 80 directly from ChatGPT. Rest from other sources.

Revenue crossed $490.

Total investment was around $200. $79 for a blogging tool, $20 ChatGPT, $20 Claude, $80 in API and infrastructure costs. Applied for startup programs to bring that COGS down further.

Analytics tracked through Faurya which connects traffic directly to revenue so I know exactly what's working.

What I did NOT do

Directory submissions. No.
Launched on Product Hunt or Hacker News. No.
Spammed content. No.
Built programmatic SEO pages. No.
Made free tools to attract backlinks. No.

All the standard playbook advice. None of it.

What actually worked

Two things only. I focused on these completely and ignored everything else.

The first was AEO optimised blogging. I used this SEO tool and it genuinely changed how I think about content. It pulls in DataForSEO, Keywords Everywhere, Claude, OpenAI, GSC, Google Ads and more into one place to write content that's built for how AI search actually works. I tested it hard before buying, even sent in suggestions for improvements, then paid $79 for it. Every blog I've published through it is indexed and pulling traffic. The key difference is the content is structured to answer the exact questions my users are asking, which means Google ranks it and LLMs cite it in their answers.

The second was social posting with real substance. In 30 days I posted maybe 9 or 10 times total. That's it. But every post was written specifically to be useful enough that LLMs would use it to answer user queries. I shared hacks, hidden strategies, growth tricks, genuine tool suggestions and yes dropped my link where it made sense. No fluff, no self-promotion without value. That content is now being pulled into ChatGPT responses and Google AI Overviews regularly.

What's coming next month

On the product side I'm adding an email collector for a free indexing audit, planning to build free tools through Google or Microsoft startup programs if I get in, making changelogs public and hiring a full time developer. Also ending LTD plans and moving to subscriptions since retention has been strong.

On the marketing side I'm keeping the same core approach but adding distribution. Launching on platforms, running a few ads in newsletters, building out company pages on X, LinkedIn and Facebook, and expanding into more closed communities on Discord and Facebook groups.

The lesson from this first month is simple. Do less but do it with focus. Invest in the right things and the results compound faster than you'd expect.

Happy to answer questions on any part of this.
