NoteVault, Inc. Adds Multilingual Dictation For Construction Reporting
Published Jul 6, 2010

NoteVault announced that it has added the capability to handle multilingual speech input from users on its construction reporting platform. Users can now use their native language to speak their field notes, and NoteVault automatically translates and transcribes into English. Daily construction reports are compiled and displayed in English regardless of which languages went into reporting events and conditions on the job.
“Supporting multiple languages has always been in the plan, and we’re happy that we now have the ability to support the technology and resources needed to do it right” says Peter Lasensky, NoteVault’s CEO, “We knew that Spanish was essential for U.S. accounts, but found that as we expanded into the Middle East there was an even greater need for translation services. We saw massive building projects with the staff at the job site communicating in Urdu, Hindi, and Arabic. The construction managers were generally speaking and reading only English. There was a unique opportunity to make a connection between those who were “in the know” and those that “needed to know”. I’m really excited by the prospect of bridging not only language barriers, but cultural barriers inside our future customers. This really hasn’t been possible before. "
The NoteVault service fills a huge void in the construction industry by enabling field workers to easily report project activity directly from the field using nothing but their mobile phone. Superintendents simply speak their notes into their mobile phone, which NoteVault converts to text and makes the report available through email or a web-based interface. NoteVault can also integrate data directly into construction project management software solutions.
NoteVault’s hosted solution saves contractors time and money by enabling staff to quickly and easily report from the field, without typing or collecting paper reports. It also gives management real-time project visibility, which can be invaluable in avoiding or prevailing on disputes, wrongful claims or damaging lawsuits.
