You didn't become a tradie to do paperwork. You got into the trade because you're good with your hands - not because you dreamed of spending your evenings hunched over a laptop writing job reports. You work hard enough already. The last thing you need after a long day on the tools is another hour of admin before you can crack open a cold one. That's where TradieScribe comes in. Just talk. We'll handle the rest. On-site, just hit record and describe the job in your own words - the same way you'd explain it to a mate.
