Build a Speech-to-Text App for Professional Services

Architects, engineers, surveyors, and other licensed professionals. A speech-to-text app solves a core problem: record voice notes and get back clean, punctuated text you can search, edit, and paste anywhere.

Professional Services professionals deal with managing complex project documentation and tracking project milestones and deliverables. A purpose-built speech-to-text app handles transcription, audio recording, copy and export, so you can focus on the work that actually matters.

MVP features (launch in 4-6 hours):

- Record audio in the browser

- Return the transcript

- Save and view past notes

Advanced features (add later):

- Push-to-talk dictation into any app

- Speaker labels

- Custom vocabulary for names, suburbs, and trade jargon

- Summary and action items per recording

This speech-to-text app is moderate complexity, achievable in a focused sprint. We recommend starting with the MVP and iterating based on real user feedback from your professional services clients.
