That AI transcription tool I tried finally saved me from typing notes on every job site
I got tired of typing up estimates on my phone after every concrete pour, especially when my hands were still dirty from the job. A buddy in Chicago told me about this voice to text AI thing that learns your specific vocabulary over time. I gave it a shot last month and honestly, it was rough at first. Kept mixing up 'rebar' with 'ray bar' and 'slump test' with 'slump rest' which had me laughing at first. But after about 10 uses, it started getting stuff right like 90% of the time. Now I just dictate my notes on site and email them to the office before I even leave. Has anyone else found a decent voice AI that handles construction terms without losing its mind?

@dixon.iris it took me about two weeks of regular use before it stopped butchering my site terms. That first week was rough but once I got past maybe 50 corrections it clicked. Something funny about how we just accept bad voice typing now like autocorrect messing up texts is normal but we still put up with it. Tara793 you're right the first week is annoying but the payoff is huge for getting notes done fast.

Damn, how long did it actually take before the AI stopped messing up your specific site terms?

Man that's sick! I had the same problem with my voice to text messing up "drywall" as "dry wall" for like a month straight. It finally clicked after I kept correcting it though. Honestly worth the annoying first week cause now I can finish my site notes in like 5 minutes flat.
