VoxLog

The problem

A site supervisor spends the day on site, not at a keyboard. The log gets written in the evening, from memory, and whatever was not noted disappears. Reports produced that way are incomplete and impossible to defend in a dispute.

How it works

You press a button and speak, from ten seconds to ten minutes. Audio is saved second by second on the phone, transcribed, then split into events: crew, work, delivery, issue, safety, weather, follow-up. At the end of the day the report is assembled by code, from verified facts only.

Core capabilities

• Installable mobile app, usable offline on site
• Dictated time wins over the note time ("quarter to four" = 3:45 p.m.)
• Photos attached automatically to the nearest fact, correctable in one tap
• Follow-up items carried day to day until a dictated closure
• A PDF report, sent from the phone, that can no longer be edited once final
• Search across history with the dictated sentence as backing, or a "not verifiable" answer
• Nothing you dictate leaves your own computers

Stated limits

• Usable from start to finish, but not yet tested over a full construction season
• A fact whose quote cannot be found in the transcript is excluded until a human confirms it
• Transcription quality depends on ambient noise and diction
• Keeping everything in-house needs a recent computer; the other option moves your data outside Quebec
