Use QR Inventory Voice commands
Use the microphone button, speak a supported command or visible button or field label, and check the live transcript. Universal commands run first, then visible controls, then inventory-query matching.
Find the command for the screen and job in front of you
Quick Reference
Ask about stock or items — just ask, in your own words:
- "Where do we have pumps?" · "How many light bulbs do we have?"
- "What do we have in Boise warehouse?" · "Show details for pump PX-100"
- "Show all items with voltage 120" · "What is allocated for job XYZ15?"
Works on every screen: "Back" or "Close" — go back · "Home" — main screen · "Clear" or "Start Over" — reset the screen, "Scroll Up / Scroll Down" - scrolls up or down
Run a transaction: say "Start transaction". While transaction view is open, the app listens only for transaction commands:
- "Transaction Type" — opens the type list; say the type's name
- "From location B27" · "To location B27" — set locations or assemblies; when a list opens, say the option's name, or "Cancel"
- "Next" — continue · "Clear" — cancel
On other screens, every button and field is speakable:
- Press a button by saying its name, or "button" + its name — "Submit", "button Preview"
- Fill a field with "set job number to XYZ" (or "button job number XYZ"); "clear job number" empties it · say just "button job number" to pick the field, then speak the value - where "job number" is the field name
- To take, select, view or remove a photo, say "take/select/show/delete photo" plus a number or the field's name if there's more than one (e.g. "show photo 2" or "show photo of front view") · to view a PDF where available, say "show pdf"
Scanning works alongside voice: say "Scan" wherever a scan button is shown to open the QR scanner.
Fix a misheard command: everything you say appears in the text box — correct it by typing, then say or tap "Process Command". "Clear Text" empties the box.
QR Inventory — App Functionality Reference
This guide describes every screen in QR Inventory: what you can tap, what you can say, and how the app understands your voice commands.
Voice works entirely on the phone. The app answers with short messages on the screen rather than speaking back, so you can keep working.
1. How voice works (5-minute orientation)
The mic button
Every screen you can use by voice has a microphone icon at the top.
- Slashed grey — the mic is off.
- Solid red — the mic is on and listening. Speak normally.
Tap the icon to turn the mic on or off. The app remembers your choice, so the next screens start with the mic the same way. The Home screen always turns it back on.
What the app shows you while listening
A small italic teal banner appears at the top of the screen with the live transcript as you speak. You can read it to confirm the app heard you correctly. If it's wrong, just start speaking again - the new utterance replaces the old one. The banner auto-dismisses about 3 seconds after you stop speaking, or when the app's reply replaces it with a result/error notification.
How the app understands what you say
When you stop speaking, the app checks what you said in this order:
- Commands that work everywhere —
back,home,clear,start over,scan,submit. These always come first. - Buttons and fields on the screen — say a button's
or field's label, or
buttonand the label, and the app taps it. For example:submit,button next,sync with server. - Inventory requests — anything else is read as a
question or request, such as
show me pumps,info on QB-35ordo a transfer transaction.
Universal commands (work everywhere)
These work on every screen you can use by voice, even while a message or a list is open:
| Phrase | Action |
|---|---|
back · go back · close ·
exit · dismiss |
Close this screen and go back |
home · go home |
Go to the Home screen (anything unfinished there is cleared) |
clear |
Clear what's shown on this screen (results, what you said) |
start over · restart ·
start again |
Start this screen over |
submit · done · next ·
save · proceed · continue ·
go ahead |
Continue / submit |
scan · scan barcode · scan qr
· scan code |
Open the camera scanner |
When the app asks you to confirm, say yes /
yeah / yep / confirm /
ok to go ahead, or no / nope /
cancel / abort / stay to
stop.
Behaviors worth knowing
- Live transcript — what you say appears in an italic teal banner at the top of the screen as you speak.
- Spoken IDs wait for you — on Scan or enter
an item, a spoken ID fills the field and waits; say
next(or tap Next) to look it up. That gives you time to check it was heard right. - Searches start by themselves — on Search by keywords, the search starts about 2 seconds after you say what to look for.
- Typing comes first — once you type in a field, voice won't overwrite it. Clear the field to let voice fill it again.
- Filling a field by voice — say
buttonand the field's name, then the value (button item id…1001). - Misheard IDs — if a spoken ID isn't found, the app automatically tries again with the characters speech most often confuses: 0 and O, 8 and A.

Camera scanning
Camera — scanning a barcode
Purpose — The camera scanner. It works in two ways:
- One scan — scans one code and returns.
- Several scans in a row — collects codes with their quantities; "Done Scanning" returns them all.
What you'll see
- Full-screen camera view
- Scanning frame (its border flashes green when a code is read)
- Top right: Flash button, Close (
×), Mic icon (when scanning several in a row) - When scanning several in a row:

| Done Scanning | Return the scanned codes |
What you can say (when scanning several in a row)
- Quantity:
quantity 5·qty 5·set quantity 5·set qty 5quantityon its own — the app asks "Say the number."; then say the number.- A number on its own after that question sets the quantity of the last scanned item.
- Loose phrasings work too: if speech hears "wanted twenty" as
wanted to 20, the number at the end is used.
done·finished·submit·that's all·that's it→ return the scanned codes. Common mishearings of "done" (dun,dawn,tamp,ton) work too.
Camera — continuous scan (multiple items in a row)
Purpose — Scan several items in a row. Each code is checked with the server as you scan; valid items are listed with their quantities, and "Done Scanning" adds them all to the cart.
What you'll see

When a code isn't valid, the message closes by itself after 2 seconds and scanning continues.
Loading screens (brief waits)
These three screens appear briefly while the app gets data from the server, and close by themselves when it's done. They have no buttons of their own; only the commands that work everywhere apply.
Loading from server
Validates one or more scanned barcodes against the server. Routes downstream based on context: into the Cart (transaction), Assembly lookup, Item details, or Add a new item.
What you can say: cancel / ok /
okay / close / back → finish.
Looking up an item
Shows the stock breakdown for a single item — per-warehouse quantities and any property breakdowns (lots, serial numbers).
What you'll see — title, table (Location · Qty · expandable property details), OK button.
What you can say: cancel / ok /
okay / close / back → finish.
Loading a group of items
Processes a transaction group (preset multi-item bundle), inserting all items into the Cart as a single batch.
What you can say: cancel / ok /
okay / close / back → finish.
Looking up items and assemblies
Item details — view and edit
Purpose — See an item's full record, and change it. The screen has two modes: viewing (nothing can be changed) and updating (the fields can be edited).

- Prices (sale, purchase, rent — when not zero)
- Location (for items kept in one place)
- The custom fields (name : value; photos and documents show as icons you can tap)
- Update button (switches to updating)
- Components button (for assemblies → Item lookup result)
What you'll see (updating)
- Only the ID and name at the top
- Each custom field can be edited: a list, text, a field that suggests values, a date, or a photo
- Cancel and Submit buttons
What you can tap
| Element | Action |
|---|---|
| Close | Leave the screen |
| Update | Switch to updating |
| Cancel (updating) | Throw away your changes and go back to viewing |
| Submit (updating) | Confirm, then save your changes to the server |

Photos and documents: image / photo /
picture opens the first photo, pdf the first
PDF.
Changing fields (while updating):
set <field name> to <value>— for a text field, a list (the value doesn't have to be exact), or a date (say it naturally)clear <field name>- For example:
set expiry date to december 31 2025,clear comments,set color to red
While you're typing in a field, voice is ignored; it works again when you leave the field, or after Cancel or Submit.
Search by keywords
Purpose — Find items by any mix of item ID, name or
group, location, a custom field value and job. Open it from Scan
or enter an item: tap Search Items By
Keyword(s) or say search. It works when you check
stock, look up item details, or add items to a transaction.
What you'll see
Search itemsat the top, with the mic and help iconsITEM IDandITEM NAME OR GROUPLOCATION:- when checking stock, type a location or pick one of the suggestions
- in an Issue or Transfer transaction, it is fixed to the transaction's From location
- it is not shown when receiving items or looking up item details
WITH CUSTOM FIELDandEQUALS TO— pick one of your custom fields (for example Voltage), then its value. Depending on the field,EQUALS TOis a text box, a list of allowed values or a date picker.ALLOCATED FOR JOB— only when your items can be allocated to jobs or projects- Search and Clear Filters buttons
What you can tap
| Element | Action |
|---|---|
| Item ID / Item Name or Group | Type a value |
| Location | Type a location or pick a suggestion |
| With custom field | Pick a field (this empties Equals to) |
| Equals to | Type a value, pick one from the list, or pick a date |
| Allocated for Job | Type or pick a job |
| Search | Find the matching items |
| Clear Filters | Empty all fields |
Fill in at least one filter before you search; otherwise you'll see "Please select or enter at least one filter to search." When nothing matches: "There are no matches for your query - please refine it."
What you can say
Say what you're looking for in one sentence, in any order:
pumps in B27 with voltage 220 allocated for job 127item id 4500chairs with color red
The fields fill in and the search starts 2 seconds later; say
search to start at once. A new sentence replaces the
previous one. If this screen can't use the location you said, it is left
out and a note tells you why. If a value isn't one of the field's
choices, a note says so and the app waits for you to correct it instead
of searching.
On Scan or enter an item you can say the whole
request at once, for example search for pumps in B27: this
screen opens filled in and searches.
To fill one field at a time:
- Say
buttonand the field name, then the value:button item id…1001. Or in one go:button item id 1001. set item name to pumps·set custom field to voltage·set equals to 220·clear job- For a list or date field, say
button with custom field(orbutton equals to,button job) to open it, then say an option, a date such as December 1 2028, orcancel.
Field names you can say: Item ID (or ID),
Item Name (or Name), Location,
With Custom Field (or Custom Field),
Equals To (or Value),
Allocated for Job (or Job).
Buttons: search (or go, find),
clear filters (or start over), and
back / home.
While you're typing in a field, spoken sentences are ignored
("Finish typing, or say "button search"."), but
button commands still work.
Saying item IDs and job numbers
- Say the letters and digits; the app removes the spaces that speech
adds:
a q b 60 1→aqb601. - Say
dashfor "-" andslashfor "/":a q b 60 dash 1→aqb60-1. - Speech often hears the letter A as "hey" or "e". The app reads "hey"
as A in a spelled ID, but "e" can't be told apart from a real E, so say
alphato be safe. Other phonetic-alphabet words work too:alpha quebec bravo 60 dash 1→aqb60-1. - If nothing is found, the app automatically tries once more with the

If the item can't be added, a message says why — for example an asset or container that is already in the transaction ("AQB60-1 is already in this transaction."), or a non-inventory item in a Receive Lots transaction. - Say
info on 1001(checking stock, item details) oradd 1001(in a transaction); the line at the top shows which. An exact ID acts at once; a close match asks first ("Show details for 1001?" or "Add 1001 to the transaction?"), so answeryesorno. An ID that isn't in the list gets "I couldn't find item "1001" in the results." scroll down/scroll up,back,home.

Questions from the job
Frequently asked questions
How do I start an inventory transaction with a voice command?
Say “Do a transaction,” or name a supported transaction such as receive, issue, or transfer. In transaction view, use transaction commands such as “Transaction Type,” “From location B27,” “To location B27,” and “Next.”
How do I correct a voice command the app misheard?
Your spoken command appears in the text box. Correct it by typing, then say or tap “Process Command.” Use “Clear Text” to empty the box.
Which QR Inventory Voice commands work on every screen?
Universal commands cover back or close, home, clear, start over, submit or next, and scan. The detailed reference below lists each accepted phrase and action.
