“Framing went good. Need to come back.”
The area, quantity, condition, unresolved decision, responsible person, and next date are missing.
Free seven-part spoken script
A construction voice note that becomes a useful job record
Before you pull away, say these seven things. Use your phone recorder or Ardaro, then review names, numbers, requests, and approvals before saving or sharing.
The seven-part field note
Before you pull away, say these seven things
Use the recorder already on your phone or follow Ardaro's prompts. The phrase “60-second” describes the compact script—not a completion-time promise. Review the result before saving or sharing it.
Job and exact work area
Name the job and the exact room, elevation, unit, system, or work area.
Who was there
Identify the crew, subcontractors, customer, inspector, or other people present.
Work actually completed
State only the work completed and any reviewed measurements or quantities.
Change or blocker
Describe the condition, request, access issue, delay, or scope question without guessing.
Known cost or schedule effect
State the known impact, or say that the impact is not known yet.
Approval and supporting evidence
Separate a request from an approval and identify the related photo, file, message, or signature.
Next action, owner, and timing
Name the next step, the person responsible, and the expected date or time.
Copy the spoken starter
Fill each blank in plain language. If an impact or approval is unknown, say that instead of filling the gap with an assumption.
Job and area: ____. On site today: ____. Work completed: ____. Change or blocker: ____. Known cost or schedule effect: ____ or not known yet. Approval and evidence: ____. Next action, owner, and timing: ____.

Synthetic worked example
From a spoken recap to reviewable fields
This deck-job example is fictional. It is not a customer record, testimonial, or proof that speech recognition captured every word correctly.
Synthetic example
Spoken note: “Job and area: Miller deck, north ledger at the kitchen wall. On site today: Sam and Luis from seven to two-thirty. Work completed: removed eighteen linear feet of old ledger and installed the new ledger at the reviewed elevation. Change or blocker: deteriorated rim material at the northeast corner needs evaluation. Cost or schedule effect is not known yet. The customer asked whether the landing can move twelve inches; that is a request, not an approval. Evidence is photos seventeen through twenty-two. Next action: Brent reviews the rim condition and landing request by Tuesday before the crew closes that area.”
Editable fields to review: exact area; crew and hours; completed work and quantity; unexpected condition; impact unknown; customer request not approved; photo references; next action, owner, and date.
“North ledger installed; rim condition still open.”
It identifies the exact area, reviewed quantity, hidden condition, customer request versus approval, photo evidence, and assigned next action.
Before you save
Review the details that can change the job record
A transcript is a draft. Compare it with what happened, the source documents, and any written approval before it becomes part of the job history.
- Are names, the job, and the exact work area correct?
- Are dimensions, quantities, dates, and times correct?
- Are commitments stated exactly, without adding a promise?
- Is a customer statement separated from the contractor's conclusion?
- Is a request clearly distinguished from an approval?
- Is a possible change labeled without pretending it is an approved change order?
- Do referenced photos, messages, files, or signatures exist?
- Does the next action have an owner and realistic timing?
Actual product proof
Ardaro keeps speech as a controlled draft
The screenshot is from the real Ardaro backend using a synthetic demo workspace. The on-page transcript below keeps the proof understandable without loading the image or video.
What the interface shows
- A voice job brief stays visible as editable text.
- Dictate, Build draft, and Guide me are separate user choices.
- The resulting customer, job, scope, measurement, and file-note fields remain available for review.
- The authorized user decides what reaches the form and explicitly saves the record.
Watch the real speak → review → save workflow.
After the contractor saves and chooses what to publish, customer-visible project updates can be shared without exposing the contractor's internal job information.
Voice privacy and fallback
Know where the audio and text go
These boundaries describe Ardaro's deployed voice-entry implementation. They do not describe a third-party recorder or every speech service.
Microphone audio
A compatible browser requests microphone permission. The browser, operating system, or its speech provider may process the microphone audio. Ardaro does not receive or store microphone audio in the deployed implementation.
Editable text and fallback
Ardaro receives the speech-derived editable text for in-memory draft analysis. Availability and accuracy depend on the browser, device, microphone permission, network, and speech provider. Typing remains available when dictation is unavailable or is not the right choice.
Review the current policyDo not dictate passwords, payment-card data, access codes, or private credentials. Read Ardaro's privacy policy before using voice entry with job information.
What Ardaro does — and what it does not
What it does
Speech can reduce manual entry and help capture details while they are fresh. Ardaro turns the speech-derived text into an editable draft that the user reviews before explicitly saving.
What it does not do
Voice does not verify measurements, settle scope, or create approval. It cannot replace contracts, signatures, inspections, safety records, formal approvals, licensed professional judgment, or the user's review.
