Voice-to-text for home services
Job recaps, quote drafts and customer follow-ups without typing on a phone.
Home service pros, from HVAC to plumbing to electrical to handyman, do the writing side of the job on a phone between visits. Zahvox makes that faster.
Down from next morning or later.
Beats one line SMS quotes.
Paperwork done between calls, not after dinner.
Free forever tier. No per-seat fees.
Where Zahvox fits in home services
Every visit generates a small pile of writing: what you found, what you fixed, what needs to come next, what to quote. Zahvox lets a technician dictate that pile while sitting in the van, then paste into the invoicing or CRM tool. The customer gets a professional follow-up without an evening admin session.
Open the tool, hit the mic, start talking. No signup, no download.
Filler words, false starts and repetition are stripped automatically.
The output is plain text. Works in every CMS, CRM, PSA and doc tool.
Writing home services do every week
These are the tasks Zahvox handles well for home services professionals. Pick one from your week and try it in the free tool.
- Job diagnosis and fix notes
- Quote and estimate drafts
- Customer follow-up messages
- Warranty and repeat visit notes
- Parts and materials lists
- Team WhatsApp updates
- Simple SOPs for new hires
Three workflows that pay back this week
Sitting in the van, dictate the diagnosis, work done, and follow-up. Paste into your job software. Invoice ready the same day.
Dictate the scope, options, and price rationale. Turn into a professional quote email. Wins more jobs than a one line SMS.
For customers due a service, dictate a short warm reminder. Send. Repeat business without a big campaign.
Say this, get that
Real prompts you can speak into the tool right now, and the kind of cleaned draft you get back.
"Job note for the Patel visit on Elm Street. Found the boiler locking out on a low pressure fault. Repressured the system, bled the top floor radiators, checked the expansion vessel which reads low and should be recharged next visit. System firing correctly on leaving. Recommend booking a service in the next 6 weeks to recharge the vessel."
A clean job note with diagnosis, work performed, parts, and a specific follow-up recommendation. Paste into Jobber, Housecall Pro or ServiceTitan.
"Quote for the Nguyen bathroom. Scope is remove old vanity, install new 900mm unit, replace tap and waste, silicone reseal. Option 1 basic chrome tap 780 dollars total. Option 2 matte black tap 890 dollars total. Timeline half a day. Warranty on workmanship 12 months. Can book in the next two weeks."
A structured quote email with scope, two options, timeline and warranty. Wins more work than a text message quote.
Where home services lose time
- Invoices go out the next day and slow cash flow
- Quotes are one line texts that lose to a competitor's proposal
- Repeat customer reminders never go out
- SOPs stay in the owner's head, so new hires struggle
How Zahvox changes the day
Zahvox turns dead time in the van into paperwork time, and paperwork time into customer communication. Owners get their evenings back and win more repeat work through better follow-up.
