Professionals in the construction industry have high administration demands, which are hard to juggle with high operational demands. Therefore, efficiency and accuracy are critical requirements in this sector, and booming construction professionals are snapping up tools that support these requirements. Voice recorders in Sydney with voice-recognition software benefit project managers, architects, principal contractors, engineers, etc., by quickly converting the spoken word to written text. This has a positive impact on customer relationships, contractor management, and reporting.
Voice Recorder Benefits
Administration tasks on a building site include the constant documenting of the project progress, new scope additions, operational error reports, minutes of meetings, snap reports, and handover reports. This is usually done with on-site notes and the long hours of typing documents back at the office then forwarding them to relevant parties.
A voice recorder with voice recognition software makes this process significantly simpler and frees up your time to focus on more strategic or income-earning tasks. A voice recorder like the Olympus DS-9500 can even send files from the site using its wifi capabilities.
On-Site Case Example
A site inspector can record findings on the hoof and then send the encrypted audio file, with photographs, directly to the office or relevant contractors before leaving the site. In addition, you can assign different priorities to recordings, and they can be assigned to the correct files. Then, the inspector or their back-office staff can immediately use transcription software to create the text file, and the document is ready to send.
Completed documents can be emailed while on the road, which slashes admin workload and turnaround times.
If you need hard copies, when you get back to the office at the end of the day, the text you recorded is already waiting for your desktop or laptop to be printed & signed. Alternatively, you can print at a print shop while still on the road, sign, and the document hard copy is ready for delivery.
The faster you can complete your projects, the quicker you can start up new projects, which dramatically benefits cash flow and profits. In addition, you will not be overwhelmed by the admin demands of a new project overlapping with an existing project as your efficiency levels will have soared. Less stress, happier clients, and an increase in income.
