Design rationale
Speak the design intent for the review — form, program, materials, cost logic.
USE CASE
Voice-to-writing for architects
Architects use Zahvox for design rationale, site notes, meeting minutes, and client emails — writing that supports the drawing, not the other way around.
Common writing bottlenecks for architects
Voice-to-writing helps when the friction is at the keyboard, not in the thinking. These are the moments Zahvox is built for.
- Design rationale is easier to say than to type in a meeting.
- Site visit notes get lost between the visit and the office.
- Consultant and contractor messages need clarity and always land late.
- Client emails eat time that should go to design.
- Meeting minutes drift into unusable bullet lists.
