Describe the job
Mention the rooms, surfaces, condition, finish, colour changes, ceiling height, access, and whether furniture needs moving.
Problem
Why this workflow matters.
On site, typing a polished brief can slow you down. Voice capture lets you describe the job naturally, then clean up the transcript before any estimate is generated.
Voice brief
What to say in a voice quote note.
A useful voice note should sound like the site visit: what the customer asked for, what needs preparing, what might change the price, and what you need to check before committing to the quote.
Call out unknowns
Note repairs, damp, flaky paint, materials questions, parking, scaffold, or anything that needs confirming after the visit.
Review before AI
PainterPal shows the transcript first, so the estimate is based on the brief you meant to give, not an unchecked recording.
