You're mid-repair. The back panel is off, the screen is disconnected, and your hands are covered in adhesive remover. The job's done — now you need to invoice the customer. So you peel off your gloves, wipe your hands, unlock the phone, open the invoicing app, tap through five screens, type the customer name, the device, the service, the price — and then remember you forgot to include the parts.
There's a better way. You speak. The invoice builds itself.
That's exactly what RepairBill's built-in voice invoice generator does — and it's the feature repair shop technicians across Australia are calling a genuine game-changer.
What Is a Voice Invoice Generator?
A voice invoice generator is a tool that converts spoken words into a formatted invoice automatically. You describe the job out loud — customer name, device, service performed, and price — and AI maps your speech to the correct invoice fields without you typing a single character. Unlike basic dictation, it understands repair shop terminology, GST-inclusive pricing, and payment status from natural speech.
It's different from simple voice-to-text. Dictation just transcribes what you say into a text field. A true voice invoice generator understands what you said — recognising that "two eighty GST inclusive" means a $280 price with GST already baked in — and maps each piece of information to the right field in your invoice.
How RepairBill's Voice Invoice Works — Step by Step
RepairBill is designed for working technicians. The voice invoicing flow is built to take no longer than 15 seconds from the moment you finish a repair to the moment the invoice is ready to save.
Tap the mic button
On mobile, the microphone sits in the centre of the bottom navigation bar — raised above all other buttons so it's impossible to miss. On desktop, it's in the invoice editor. One tap, voice overlay opens instantly.
Speak the repair details naturally
No rigid commands to memorise. Speak the way you'd describe the job to a colleague. RepairBill listens via the Web Speech API — Chrome on Android and Chrome desktop. Words appear on screen live as you speak.
AI creates the invoice
Your transcribed sentence goes to Claude AI via a secure server-side proxy. Claude extracts: customer name, device brand and model, service type, price, GST treatment, payment status, IMEI, technician, and fault description — all in 2–3 seconds.
Review, adjust, save
Every AI-filled field is editable. The invoice preview updates in real time. When it looks right, hit Save as Paid or Save as Draft. If Google Sheets is connected, it pushes automatically — no extra step.
What Can You Say? Real Examples
RepairBill's voice AI has been built around real repair shop language — device names, service types, Australian pricing, GST conventions. It handles varied sentence structure. You don't have to say customer name first. The AI figures out what's what regardless of order.
How Much Time Does Voice Invoicing Actually Save?
A typical repair invoice takes most technicians 90 seconds to 3 minutes to type — including unlocking the device, navigating to the invoice screen, and tapping through every field.
With voice invoicing, the same invoice takes 10 to 15 seconds. You speak one sentence, the fields fill, you save.
There's also the less obvious benefit: mental load. Typing interrupts the flow of a repair job. Voice invoicing lets you stay in repair mode. You finish the job, speak one sentence, and the invoice is done before you've put the phone down.
Why Generic Voice-to-Text Doesn't Work for Invoicing
Generic voice-to-text transcribes words as a block of text. It has no idea that "Samsung S24 Ultra" is a device model, that "two eighty" is a price, that "GST inclusive" is a tax instruction, or that "paid" is a status field. You'd still have to copy each piece manually into invoice fields.
Generic AI invoice tools know about invoicing but not repairs. They won't recognise "charging port," "water damage clean," "back glass," or "IMEI." RepairBill's AI is calibrated specifically for repair shop language, Australian device brands, common services, and the $60–$350 price range typical for handset work.
GST Is Handled Automatically — Every Time
RepairBill defaults to GST-inclusive pricing across the entire app, including voice invoicing. When you say "two eighty GST inclusive," the invoice records a $280 total with $25.45 GST already inside the price — it does not add 10% on top.
If you say a price without specifying GST, RepairBill still defaults to inclusive, because that's how Australian repair shops price their services. Everything flows correctly from the voice invoice through to your quarterly BAS summary — no manual tax calculation required.
Australian BAS quarters are built in
Every invoice saved by voice is automatically categorised into the correct BAS quarter: Q1 Jul–Sep, Q2 Oct–Dec, Q3 Jan–Mar, Q4 Apr–Jun. Your quarterly GST summary is always up to date — no end-of-quarter scramble.
Frequently Asked Questions
The voice capture step uses the Web Speech API, which works reliably in Chrome on Android and Chrome desktop (Mac and Windows). On iPhone, Safari has limited and inconsistent Web Speech API support. For the best experience on iOS, use RepairBill on desktop Chrome or an Android device. We're monitoring browser support and will update this as Safari improves.
Every field filled by voice is fully editable before you save. The invoice preview updates in real time so you can see exactly what was captured. Tap any field and fix it in two seconds. RepairBill also stores corrections locally and learns from them over time, so recurring mistakes become less frequent the more you use it.
Yes. Your spoken text is sent to Claude via RepairBill's own server-side proxy — it never goes directly from your device to Anthropic's servers. No invoice data is retained by Anthropic. RepairBill stores all your data in your browser's local storage, meaning it lives on your device and is never uploaded to a third-party cloud without your knowledge.
