Say it once. Get a clean note.
Hands full, one foot out the door. Tap the mic, talk through what you found, and the words land in the note. On a paid plan, one more tap tidies it into something you would happily read in six months: spelling fixed, dictation slips corrected, piano terms spelled the way a technician spells them.
Every number stays exactly as you said it. Pitch, humidity, prices, part counts: the cleanup is not allowed to touch them.
From the driveway to the record.
- 1
Tap the mic
Open a note from the visit, the client or the piano, and it is already linked to them. Talk as long as you need.
- 2
Read it back
Your words are added to the note as text. Nothing is replaced, so you can dictate in pieces.
- 3
Clean it up
On a paid plan, AI cleanup fixes spelling, punctuation and misheard piano terms, and writes a short title.
- 4
Find it later
The note sits on the client and piano it belongs to, and turns up in search by its title.
Built around how technicians actually talk.
It knows "a graph" is an agraffe
Speech-to-text hears piano words the way anyone else would. The cleanup is written for our trade, so when the meaning is clear it puts them right: dampener becomes damper, "cap stand" becomes capstan, "una chorda" becomes una corda.
It keeps your voice and your shorthand. It adds nothing you did not say and removes nothing you did.
Numbers are off limits
A note that says the piano was 438.2, raised to 440, charged $185 comes back with 438.2, 440 and $185. The cleanup never changes a number, a name, a date, a price or a unit, and never invents a diagnosis, a measurement or a part number.
Ask for a different shape
Write "(make this bullets)" or "(expand on this)" in the note and the cleanup does what it says, then removes the instruction. Anything else in the note is treated as the note.
It reads what the note is linked to
Link the note to Sarah Morrison and her Yamaha U1, and "their yamaha" becomes "their Yamaha U1". The link only sharpens a reference the note already makes. It never stamps an address or a name onto a note that did not mention one.
Condition reports that draft themselves
On a paid plan, Pianobooker drafts a condition report from the issues you have logged on a piano: a plain-English summary for the owner, and an explanation and recommendation for each open issue.
It only recommends the work you logged, never invents a symptom, a price or a deadline, and you read and edit it before it goes anywhere.
A note can block your calendar
Give a note a date and flip "blocks my calendar", and it becomes blocked time: clients cannot book over it. Notes can repeat weekly, carry an address so they join the day's route, and be logged as a call, an email or a text.
