Managing your workload on-site is tough. Climbing ladders, wrestling tools, chasing quotes. The last thing you want is admin slowing you down. That’s where voice job management comes in. With Mucka’s AI voice assistant on your iPhone, you can handle quotes, schedules and invoices—hands-free. 🎙️📱

In this guide, we’ll show you:
– Why voice-first job management matters
– How to set up Apple Voice Control
– Installing and configuring Mucka Voice
– Real on-site command examples
– Troubleshooting tips

Let’s get started.

Why Voice-First Job Management Matters

Picture this: you’re kneeling under a sink, wrench in hand, dripping water and tools at your feet. Your client wants an update on the quote—but your hands are covered in grime. Typing on a screen? Impossible. 🤦‍♂️ That’s where voice job management comes in. Speak your admin tasks, and let your phone do the rest.

Benefits at a glance:
– Speed: Create a detailed quote in seconds—no typing required.
– Accuracy: Mucka transcribes names, numbers and VAT rates perfectly every time.
– Integration: Seamlessly sync with Xero and QuickBooks in real-time.
– Hands-free: Keep your focus on the job, not the screen.

By using voice commands, you can reclaim up to two hours per day—time you can spend with family, upskilling, or taking on extra work. Think of it as a virtual apprentice in your pocket, always ready to lend a hand (or an ear).

Why Tradespeople Love Voice Assistants

Ever tried juggling a copper pipe, a flashlight, and a smartphone? Yeah, us too. Voice assistants free up your hands so you can:
– Adjust your schedule on the fly.
– Update job details mid-task.
– Generate invoices while you’re still on-site.

No more sticky fingers on screens or scrolling through menus. Just speak and watch Mucka handle the rest. 🔧✨

Setting Up Voice Control on Your iPhone

Before we dive into Mucka, let’s unlock Apple’s built-in Voice Control. It gives your phone ears sharp enough to catch even the tiniest whisper. 👂

Open Settings on your iPhone.
Tap Accessibility > Voice Control.
Tap Set Up Voice Control, then Continue.
Wait for the one-time download—just a few seconds on Wi-Fi.

Once Voice Control is on, you’ll see a blue microphone icon in your status bar. Now you can say:
– “Open Control Center”
– “Go Home”
– “Tap [Item Name]”

Pro tip: Head to Settings > Accessibility > Voice Control > Commands for a full list. You can even create custom voice commands here, but we’ll handle the heavy lifting inside Mucka for a seamless voice job management experience. 😉

Installing and Configuring Mucka AI Voice Assistant

Alright, Voice Control is ready. Next step: bring in Mucka, your AI sidekick for on-site admin.

1. Download and Install Mucka

Open the App Store and search for Mucka: AI Voice Assistant.
Tap Get, then Install.
Grant microphone access when prompted—this is how Mucka hears you. 🎧

2. Connect Your Accounting Software

Mucka really shines when it talks to your books:
– In Mucka, tap Settings.
– Select Integrations, then choose Xero or QuickBooks.
– Follow the on-screen prompts to authorise the connection.

Now you can say, “Alright Mucka, send invoice 127 to Acme Ltd,” and it’ll appear in your accounting app without lifting a finger.

3. Customise Your Voice Commands

Pre-built commands are great, but your workflow is unique. Tailor Mucka to your style:
– In Mucka, tap Voice Settings.
– Select Custom Commands.
– Tap +, enter your phrase (e.g., “finish day sheet”), then select an action (e.g., “Export timesheet PDF”).

Available actions include:
– Generate a quote
– Schedule a job
– Send an invoice
– Check client balances

By aligning commands to your day-to-day tasks, you’ll work smarter, not harder. Imagine saying “nightly review” and having Mucka wrap up your day with a summary of jobs, payments, and upcoming appointments. Magical, right? 🎩✨

Practical Voice Command Examples On-Site

Let’s walk through real tradesperson scenarios that’ll make you wonder how you ever managed without Mucka.

Generating a Quote

Scenario: You’ve just fixed a burst pipe and need to quote for replacing the shut-off valve. Water’s dripping, and you’re out of paper.

You say:

“Alright Mucka, create quote for shut-off valve replacement. Cost 85 pounds plus VAT.”

Mucka replies:

“Quote 452 created for £102.00 including VAT. Email to client@example.com?”

Confirm by saying:

“Yes, send it.”

Boom. The client gets the PDF. You stay dry. 🚿📄

Scheduling Jobs

Scenario: Your next job is in Brighton next Tuesday at 2 pm, and you need to sync it with your calendar.

Say:

“Alright Mucka, schedule Brighton job on Tuesday at 2 pm.”

Mucka adds it to your calendar, sends a reminder the day before, and even suggests travel time based on traffic. No more double-bookings or frantic rescheduling. 🗓️⏰

Sending Invoices

After wrapping up a service call:

“Alright Mucka, invoice job 321 for 150 pounds plus VAT.”

Mucka drafts the invoice, checks the client email, and sends it. A polite “Invoice Sent” confirmation pops up, and you can move on to your next task—no late afternoons buried in billing. 💷✅

Checking Financials

Midday slump? Just ask:

“Alright Mucka, what’s my unpaid invoice total?”

It replies:

“You have five unpaid invoices totalling £1,200.”

Armed with that intel, you can chase payments or rethink your afternoon schedule. No spreadsheets, no manual calculations. 📊🔥

Day-End Summary

At knock-off time, get a quick rundown:

“Alright Mucka, end-of-day report.”

Mucka summarises jobs completed, quotes outstanding, and invoices sent. It’s like having a personal bookkeeper that never clocks off. 🕔📋

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Even the best tech can hit a snag. Here’s your quick-fix guide to keep Mucka on your side.
