Everything else

How does VocaQuote work?

Tap the mic and describe the job for about 20 seconds, or type it. VocaQuote turns it into a priced quote using your own price list and hourly rate. You check it, then send it by WhatsApp, SMS, email or PDF.

Does it use my prices?

Yes. Save your price list and hourly rate once and they fill in automatically. If a price wasn't said or saved, VocaQuote asks you rather than guessing.

What if it gets something wrong?

Quotes are drafted automatically (by AI) from what you say, so they can contain mistakes. You check every line before anything is sent, and you can edit it with a tap or say the change (“make labour four hours”). Nothing goes to a client without you.

Does it work on a noisy site or with no signal?

On a noisy site, type the job instead. With no signal, the recording waits on your phone (up to 14 days) and becomes a quote when you're back online.

Is it a proper tax invoice?

In Australia, invoices show “Tax invoice”, your ABN, GST and a sequential number, and VocaQuote warns you about ATO rules such as buyer details on invoices of $1,000 or more. You stay responsible for your tax, so check with your accountant if unsure.

Which countries does it work in?

Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States, each with its own tax rules (GST, VAT, GST/HST/PST/QST or US sales tax).

Can I speak Chinese?

Yes, Mandarin Chinese (中文), spoken or typed. The quote comes out in English with Simplified Chinese under each line, so your tax records are in English. Cantonese isn't supported yet.

Where is my data stored?

Your quotes, clients, prices and photos stay on your phone. Our server keeps only what runs your account. Make a password-locked backup any time. More about your data.

Will my clients see VocaQuote?

No. Quotes, invoices, messages and the online accept page show only your business.

How much does it cost?

Your first 10 quotes are free, with no card needed. After that, Pro is a monthly or yearly subscription through Google Play. See pricing.

Can I cancel?

Yes, any time in Google Play. Pro stays on until the end of the period you've paid for. Fees aren't refundable except where the law says otherwise.

Is there an iPhone app?

Not yet. VocaQuote is on Android (Android 9 and newer) first. Join the iPhone list.

Does it work with Xero?

Pro exports your invoices in Xero's import format, so they arrive in Xero as drafts to check and approve.

Does it do scheduling or timesheets?

No, on purpose. VocaQuote does one job well: from the quote to getting paid, fast. If you need dispatch and staff timesheets, a job management suite suits you better.

What work can I quote?

Legal trade and construction work. Requests for illegal or dangerous work are refused.

Quote your next job before you leave the driveway.
