For independent consultants and advisors

The value is the thinking. The writing is the tax on it.
A client session generates more than anyone can type live, and the useful detail decays within the hour. Speaking the debrief while it is intact costs a fraction of reconstructing it from three bullet points the next morning.

The real friction
“By the time I've written it up properly, I've lost the afternoon.”
That is the actual economics of consulting: the billable insight takes an hour and the write-up takes three, so the write-up gets deferred and then done badly.
General dictation does not help, because the words that carry the value — the client's company, their systems, the vocabulary of their industry — are the ones it mangles.
This learns those from your own previous notes, so the second engagement in a sector is cleaner than the first.

okay so the big thing from the session is their procurement cycle is the actual bottleneck not the engineering estimate like everyone assumes, we should reframe the phase two proposal around shortening that instead of adding headcount

Key finding: the procurement cycle, not the engineering estimate, is the binding constraint. Recommend reframing the Phase Two proposal around shortening procurement rather than adding headcount.
Recognition runs on your Mac. Client material stays where you put it.
Where it fits
High-value moments.
Session debriefs
Speak the readout in the ten minutes after, while the room is still in your head.
Engagement reports
The report becomes a record of analysis you already did, not a second act of work.
Proposal drafting
Say the argument for the next phase while the evidence for it is fresh.
Handover notes
What the next consultant needs, captured at full detail instead of summarised to nothing.
How it works
Three steps. One key.
Press a key. Speak.
One hotkey anywhere on your Mac. No app switching, no mode to remember.
It transcribes on device.
Your voice never leaves your machine. There is no cloud transcription path for it to leave through.
Your words land right.
The names and terms you actually use are already known, so the text arrives finished instead of needing repair.
Privacy
Client confidencesstay on your machine.
Consulting work carries confidentiality obligations that a cloud transcription service sits awkwardly against. Recognition here happens on your Mac, so client discussion is not transmitted to us or anyone else.
Your vocabulary — their company names, their systems, their jargon — is yours, and we never pool it with another consultant's.
