Viewing notes Beta*

Talking. Tap the notes box, then the microphone on your keyboard, and talk. Say the room as you go in — “now into the kitchen”, “bedroom two”, “bathroom.” — and everything after it goes under that room until you name the next. Going back into a room adds to what is already there. The room buttons do the same with a tap.

Photos. Press 📷 Photo whenever something needs a picture. The photo goes under the room you were talking about, and a marker like [photo 3] goes into your notes at that point, so the write-up shows it in the right place. Delete the marker and the photo moves to the “not placed” list at the bottom.

Your voice. The talking is done by your phone’s keyboard, not this page, and some keyboards send your voice to Google or Apple to turn it into text. To keep it on the phone: on Android, open the Gboard settings, then Voice typing, and download English (UK) for offline speech recognition. Newer iPhones do most dictation on the phone itself.

Nothing leaves this phone. Your notes and photos are kept in this browser tab only, so the camera or a page reload cannot lose them. Close the tab and they are wiped the next time the page opens. To keep them, use Save as PDF, or Save to carry on later and open that file again on another day or on a computer.
