Voice notes and transcription

Written by Sven Poppelmann
Updated today

Voice notes let you record observations directly in Farmwalk. The recording is saved to your vault and automatically transcribed using Deepgram, so you get both the audio and a searchable text version.

Recording a voice note

  1. Open your farm's Vault

  2. Click the Voice Note option

  3. Allow microphone access if prompted by your browser

  4. Speak your note - describe what you're observing, any issues, or reminders

  5. Click Stop when done

  6. The recording is saved and transcription begins automatically

Using transcriptions

Once transcribed, the text version appears alongside the audio file. This means your spoken observations become part of your farm's searchable record.

Tips

  • Voice notes are great for field observations - faster than typing on a phone in muddy conditions

  • Transcription works best with clear speech and minimal background noise

  • Voice notes can be linked as evidence to scheme requirements, just like any other vault file
