Talk. It sorts out the record. Being finished
Speak the way you actually talk in the yards — “drenched 4471 and her calf, marked 3921 a poor doer, check the fence in the north paddock” — and get three clean, separate records to confirm with a tap.
The reason paddock work doesn’t get recorded is that stopping to type it is a pain when your hands are full and the race is backing up. So you remember it. Or you don’t. Paddock Notes lets you just say it — one messy, off-the-cuff sentence — and turns it into properly separated records: a treatment here, an observation there, a job for the fence.
It’s built to beat a rigid voice-command grammar, not match it. You don’t have to learn the magic words or say things in order. Multiple animals, multiple actions, and an aside about the fence, all in one breath — it untangles them, attributes each to the right beast, and hands you clean records to check. You confirm; nothing is saved behind your back.
From one spoken sentence to clean records.
Speak it
Talk into the field app in the yard. A rough transcript is made on the device, so it works with no signal.
It untangles it
On sync, the assistant separates the animals and actions into distinct records — treatments, observations, even a job.
You confirm
Each record is shown for a one-tap confirm or a quick edit. Nothing is written until you say yes.
Handles real, messy speech
“Drenched cow 4471 and her calf, marked 3921 as a poor doer, and check the fence in the north paddock” is three different things about three different subjects. Paddock Notes pulls them apart: a drench treatment on 4471 and its calf, an observation on 3921, and a job on the north paddock. You didn’t have to structure it — you just said it.
Works with no reception
The rough transcript is captured on the device the moment you speak, so a flat spot with no signal is no obstacle. The tidy-up into structured records happens when you’re back in range and sync — and because everything else about the app is offline-first, the resulting records queue and reconcile just like anything you’d tapped in by hand.
It asks rather than invents
If a tag is unclear, a dose is missing, or “her calf” could mean two animals, Paddock Notes flags it for you to resolve instead of guessing. The stakes are your real records, so an ambiguous note becomes a question, never a made-up animal ID or a fabricated dose. You are always the one who confirms what gets written.
What’s being finished
Paddock Notes is in final build. The offline transcript, the multi-entity extraction, and the confirm-before-save flow are described here as they’ll work when complete — the point at which we onboard your team. We’re hardening the disambiguation on the trickiest notes, and adversarially testing the guardrail so it declines or asks rather than inventing anything on an incomplete note.
Nothing is ever written from a note without your explicit tap to confirm. The draft shows every field it would record, and an ID or a dose it could not resolve from your own records is dropped rather than guessed.
