Work on the construction site is often hectic, loud and physically demanding. That makes it all the more important to be able to record information quickly and easily - without a lot of typing, without long distractions. That is exactly why we have integrated the dictation function into the description of your projects.

Here is how it works:

In just a few steps you can save a note by voice in the project description:

  1. Open the project entry you want.

  2. Tap the empty field "Description".

  3. Tap the microphone icon on your keyboard.

  4. Simply speak your text - e.g. "Window frame damaged, consultation with site management needed".

  5. Tap Save - done!

Advantages for everyday work on site

On the construction site in particular there is often no time to type long texts. The dictation function therefore offers clear advantages:

  • Time-saving: instead of laboriously typing on the small screen, simply speak - the information is saved in seconds.

  • Hands free, focus on the work: you do not have to interrupt your work completely in order to record an important piece of information.

  • More detail, less forgotten: when speaking you can often capture more information than when typing it in quickly by hand.

  • Accessible and practical: the function is easy to use even for colleagues who do not type quickly or are not practised with technical devices.

Particularly useful in these situations:

  • Quick damage reports: a scratch on a window or a problem with the electrics? Simply speak straight into your phone instead of laboriously trying to remember later.

  • Daily reports and progress: briefly summarise what has been done - right where it happened.

  • Recording material requirements: "Two packs of insulation wool are still missing" - simply said, saved straight away.

  • Documenting interim results: important above all during ongoing work, in order to keep an overview.

Conclusion:
With the dictation function, recording information becomes as easy as a short conversation. Try it out right away - and make your day on the construction site that bit more efficient!
