Is Zahvox free for hospitality operations professionals?

Yes. Zahvox runs in your browser at /tool with no signup, no download, and no card required. You can use it every day at zero cost. Paid tiers only unlock advanced cleanup and history, and are opt-in.

Does Zahvox work offline for hospitality operations teams?

No, not today. Zahvox is a browser-based tool and needs an internet connection to process speech. An offline desktop build is planned but not shipped. For now, use Zahvox on any device with a working browser and mic.

Can Zahvox handle industry jargon in hospitality operations?

Zahvox uses general-purpose speech models, so common industry terms transcribe well but rare acronyms may need a quick edit. Custom vocabulary is on the roadmap. Most users add a short glossary and correct once, then reuse the cleaned text.

How accurate is voice to text for hospitality operations work?

Real-world accuracy is around 92 to 97 percent in a quiet room with a decent mic. Background noise, thick accents, or rapid speech lower that. The built-in cleanup pass fixes filler words, repetition, and false starts, so the final draft reads cleanly.

Why is voice to text not working in my browser?

Nine times out of ten it is a mic permission. Open your browser site settings, allow microphone for the Zahvox tab, then reload. If it still fails, close other apps holding the mic (Zoom, Teams, Meet) and try again. Chrome, Edge, Safari and Brave all work.

Does Zahvox work on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Open the Zahvox tool page in Safari on iPhone or Chrome on Android, tap the mic, and start speaking. There is no app to install. iOS 15 and up, and Android 10 and up, are both supported.

Does it work with Mews, Cloudbeds or Opera?

Alongside them via copy paste. No native integration today. Every PMS accepts pasted text into note or message fields.

Can our housekeeping team use it?

Yes for supervisors and managers. On a phone browser, dictate incident and repair notes room by room.

How does Zahvox compare to a PMS or property management tool?

A PMS holds reservations, rates and folios. Zahvox drafts the writing that lives inside them: shift notes, guest recoveries, SOP updates. Different layers, and they pair well.

Is it useful for short-term rental hosts?

Yes. Guest welcome messages, cleaner briefs and owner reports all come out faster when dictated between turnovers.

Three workflows that pay back this week

Shift handover

Before end of shift, dictate open items, VIP notes and issues. Paste into the shift log. Next manager starts informed.

Guest follow-up

For guests who had an issue, dictate a warm personal follow-up. Send. Recovery becomes real, not templated.

Team training SOP

Dictate a short SOP for a recurring problem. Turn into a training doc. New hires ramp faster.

Say this, get that

Real prompts you can speak into the tool right now, and the kind of cleaned draft you get back.

Shift handover

You say

"End of PM shift handover. VIP in 412 celebrating anniversary, comp dessert sent. Maintenance flagged AC in 208, work order open. Front desk short-staffed tomorrow morning, coverage confirmed from 10am. Two walk-ins turned away because we sold out at 4pm."

You get

A clean shift log covering VIPs, open issues, staffing and occupancy. Ready to paste into the shift book.

Guest recovery

You say

"Follow-up for the Martinez family. Their room had a slow drain the first night and check-in took 20 minutes because of a system outage. They were gracious about both. Warm sincere apology, offer a comped breakfast for tomorrow and a rate credit toward their next stay."

You get

A warm sincere apology naming both issues, with two concrete gestures. Ready to send.

Where hospitality operations lose time

Shift handovers are verbal and forgotten by mid-shift
Guest follow-ups feel corporate
SOPs are outdated and rarely referenced
Owner reporting is thin
