Voice note to estimate, proposal, or invoice in under 30 seconds. Walk the job. Talk through the work. Review the draft. Send a clean PDF before the details disappear. Verbadoc is built for contractors, handymen, remodelers, inspectors, landscapers, cleaners, and service pros who are tired of trying to remember job details after the day is over. No ads. No bloated office software. No complicated setup. Just a faster way to capture the job, build the document, and send it to the customer. TALK THE JOB INTO A DRAFT Record notes while you are still on site, or paste the rough notes you already have. Use Verbadoc for customer requests, materials, measurements, room details, repair notes, price notes, add-ons, payment terms, and next steps. Need it cleaned up? The optional Spoken Note Optimization subscription helps turn rough spoken or pasted notes into a structured draft you can review and edit. You talk. Verbadoc organizes. REVIEW BEFORE YOU SEND Fast should not mean sloppy. Review the customer, work details, line items, prices, payment notes, and wording before anything goes out. Add what is missing, remove what does not belong, and make the final call yourself. SEND THE DOCUMENTS YOU ACTUALLY USE Create clear customer documents from your phone, including estimates, proposals, invoices, scopes of work, punch lists, photo logs, job notes, and work details. Send a proposal from the driveway. Send an invoice after the job. Send a scope before the customer forgets what you discussed. CAPTURE PHOTOS, NOTES, AND PROOF Photos are useful, but photos without notes get forgotten. Capture job photos, add voice notes, mark up issues with arrows or labels, and keep the story behind the work tied to the document. Use it for before-and-after photos, punch-list items, repair notes, damage notes, inspection details, and anything you want the customer to understand clearly. FOLLOW UP BEFORE THE JOB GOES COLD After you send an estimate, proposal, scope, or invoice, Verbadoc can help you remember to follow up. Use simple reminders and ready-to-send message drafts so the job does not get buried in texts, notes, or your head. KEEP CUSTOMER DETAILS HANDY Save customer names, contact info, job details, and document history so you are not typing the same information again and again. Find past estimates, invoices, drafts, and customer documents in one place. REUSE THE WORK YOU DO OFTEN Save common line items, sections, service packages, payment instructions, and job language. If you write the same thing every week, Verbadoc helps you reuse it instead of starting from scratch. SEND, PRINT, OR SAVE THE PDF Share clean PDFs by text, email, print, or your phone’s share button. No desk required. No formatting headache. No hunting through three apps to send one document. BACK UP YOUR OWN DATA Your work should not feel trapped. Back up your Verbadoc data to storage you already use, such as iCloud, Google Drive, Dropbox, or another save location available on your device. FREE TO USE. NO ADS. Verbadoc is built to be useful before you ever subscribe. You can create documents, manage customers, send PDFs, reuse saved items, capture job details, make photo logs, set follow-ups, and back up your data for free with no ads. The only paid option is Spoken Note Cleanup for $4.99/month. It is for users who want help turning rough spoken or pasted notes into cleaner structured drafts. WHO VERBADOC IS FOR Verbadoc is for people who do the work and still have to send the paperwork: contractors, handymen, remodelers, inspectors, landscapers, cleaners, restoration pros, freelancers, consultants, and small business owners. WHY IT EXISTS Good jobs get slowed down by slow paperwork. Verbadoc helps you capture the job, review the draft, and send the document, FAST.
