About SMASH Voice to Invoice
SMASH Voice to Invoice is an AI-powered quoting and invoicing application created specifically for tradespeople, contractors, handymen, and field service professionals who lose time and revenue to manual billing admin. Created by designer and handyman Daniel Neale, SMASH addresses the friction of traditional estimate workflows—where service providers often forget pricing details, delay quoting until returning home, or lose bids to faster competitors. Instead of typing out line items manually on a keyboard, users can simply speak the details of the job into their phone while still on site. The application converts natural voice notes into structured, professional estimates and tax-compliant invoices in under sixty seconds. Crucially, rather than relying on generic AI hallucinations or web-scraped averages, SMASH references the user's uploaded catalog of rates, materials, and regional tax rules (including GST, VAT, and sales tax). Beyond the flagship iOS mobile application for on-site quoting, SMASH provides a Chrome and Edge browser extension that scans customer emails inside Gmail to generate quotes and syncs records seamlessly with accounting software like Xero and QuickBooks.
Pros of SMASH Voice to Invoice
- Voice-to-invoice engine eliminates manual typing and lets contractors send estimates before leaving the job site
- Prices estimates accurately against the user's personal rate card and materials catalog rather than arbitrary AI guesses
- Generates tax-ready invoices supporting GST, VAT, and regional sales tax breakdowns with sequential numbering
- Chrome and Edge extensions enable one-click quote generation directly from Gmail threads
- Seamless integration with major accounting platforms including Xero and QuickBooks
Cons of SMASH Voice to Invoice
- Free plan is capped at five quotes or invoices per month before requiring an upgrade
- Mobile app is currently focused on iOS, leaving Android users dependent on browser-based flows
- Requires upfront setup of services, hourly rates, and material costs to achieve maximum automated accuracy
Frequently Asked Questions
How does SMASH create quotes from voice recordings?
You speak the completed or proposed job details into your phone; SMASH transcribes the audio, parses the tasks, matches them to your configured rates and material list, and produces a structured estimate or invoice.
Does SMASH guess market prices for my work?
No. SMASH populates costs directly from your own uploaded price list and hourly rates, ensuring quotes match your exact business pricing.
Do customers need to download an app to approve or pay quotes?
No. Customers receive a secure web link via message or email where they can review the quote, approve it, and submit card payments directly from their browser.
Can SMASH sync invoices with my accounting software?
Yes. SMASH provides one-click syncing with QuickBooks and Xero, eliminating duplicate data entry between field quotes and your general ledger.
