QR Inventory help

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:

  1. Commands that work everywhere — back, home, clear, start over, scan, submit. These always come first.
  2. Buttons and fields on the screen — say a button's or field's label, or button and the label, and the app taps it. For example: submit, button next, sync with server.
  3. Inventory requests — anything else is read as a question or request, such as show me pumps, info on QB-35 or do 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 button and 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.

After a scan in a transaction you come back here with a note such as "Pump added, qty 1"; you can then say a new quantity or scan the next item.

What you can tap

Element Action
Mic icon Turn voice on or off
Flash Turn the flashlight on or off (remembered)
Barcode field Type an ID
× Clear the field
Scan QR or Barcode Open the camera: several scans in a row in a transaction, one scan when looking up
Next Look up the ID → Loading from server
Search Items By Keyword(s) Open Search by keywords
Select Item Pick an item from a list
Select Transaction Group Pick a transaction group
Go to Transaction Products Go to the Cart

What you can say

The commands that work everywhere. If the field has text you haven't submitted, back asks first (answer yes / discard or no / stay).

Buttons you can say:

  • Scan QR or Barcode · Scan · Scan QR · Scan Barcode
  • Next · Submit · Proceed
  • Search Items By Keyword · Search · Search Items · Keyword Search
  • Select Item · Select
  • Select Transaction Group · Transaction Group
  • Barcode · Item ID (go to the barcode field)
  • Go to Transaction Products · Transaction Products
  • Home · Go Home · Back · Go Back · Clear

Other things you can say:

  • An item ID — up to 24 letters and digits, with at least one digit (ABC123, item007A, P-5001). It fills the barcode field and the app shows "Say next to proceed": a spoken ID is only looked up when you say next (or tap Next).
  • A spelled ID — say letters and digits: the spaces are removed, dash and slash become "-" and "/", "hey" is read as A, and phonetic-alphabet words as letters (alpha quebec bravo 60 dash 1 → aqb60-1), as on Search by keywords. This works for spoken IDs, for button barcode / button item id, and for IDs passed on from the Home screen.
  • An ID with a lead-in — item id 007A, barcode ABC123, id P-5001, number 4500, lookup ABC123, look up ABC123. The lead-in is dropped and the rest fills the field.
  • A quantity, after a scan brings you back here — quantity 20 · qty 20 · set quantity 20 · set qty 20, or just a number such as twenty. It changes the quantity of the item just added.
  • done · finished · that's all · that's it · show list · show items → open the Cart.
  • scan / scan code / scan qr → open the camera.
  • clear → empty the barcode field.
  • next / proceed → look up the ID now.
  • search / search for <what you want> → open Search by keywords; a request such as search for pumps in B27 with voltage 220 fills the filters and searches 2 seconds later.

Cart — items in this transaction

Purpose — Review, change and submit the items in a transaction.

What you'll see

  • Mic icon at the top
  • A list of the items; each row shows:
    • The item number (1, 2, 3 …)

pdf / show pdf when the PDF button is shown.


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:
    • The number of items and a list of the scanned codes with their quantities
    • "Done Scanning" button

What you can tap

Element Action
Flash Turn the flashlight on or off
Close (×) Stop scanning
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 5
    • quantity on 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

  • Full-screen camera view
  • Scanning frame (flashes green for a valid code; red, with a short vibration, for an invalid one)
  • Top right: Flash, Close, Mic icon
  • Right side: number of items and instructions
  • Bottom: the list of scanned items (number, name and ID, quantity)
  • "Done Scanning" button

What you can tap

Element Action
Flash Turn the flashlight on or off
Close (×) Discard the scans and close
Done Scanning Add all the items to the Cart

What you can say

Buttons you can say: Done · Done Scanning · Submit · Save · Finish; Close · Back · Go Back · Exit · Cancel.

Change or remove a row:

  • item 2 quantity 10 · set item 2 to 10 · item 2 to 10 · change item 2 to 10 · quantity of item 2 10
  • quantity 5 (changes the last scanned item)
  • delete item 2 · remove item 2 · delete row 2 · delete 2 (the rows renumber)
  • The app confirms: "Item 2 quantity 10" / "Removed item 2"

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).

What you'll see (viewing)

  • Mic icon, Close button
  • At the top: the item's ID and name
  • 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
Photo icon Show the photo full-screen (Item photo)
PDF icon Download the PDF and open it in your PDF viewer
Date arrow Open the date picker
Camera / gallery / view / trash Take, pick, view or remove a photo

What you can say

back, close, home, and update / edit to switch to updating.

When the app asks you to confirm after Submit:

  • yes / yeah / yep / confirm / submit / ok / okay → save
  • no / nope / cancel / abort → don't save

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.

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 items at the top, with the mic and help icons
  • ITEM ID and ITEM NAME OR GROUP
  • LOCATION:
    • 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 FIELD and EQUALS TO — pick one of your custom fields (for example Voltage), then its value. Depending on the field, EQUALS TO is 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 127
  • item id 4500
  • chairs 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 button and 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 (or button equals to, button job) to open it, then say an option, a date such as December 1 2028, or cancel.

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 dash for "-" and slash for "/": 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 alpha to 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 value as you said it: words kept as words (tea dash 12 → tea-12 instead of t-12), or with its spaces (pump 12 instead of pump12).
  • Values you type are never changed.

Locations and list values are found even without the dash or spaces: b 27 finds B-27, as long as only one entry fits.

Query Results

The matches open on Query Results:

  • When checking stock, items are grouped by location under black bars, and each row shows the item ID, name and quantity. Otherwise each row shows the ID, name and group. Extra details, such as the custom field you searched by, are listed under each row.
  • Tap i (checking stock, item details) to open the item's Item details.
  • Tap + (in a transaction) to add the item, with its unit, price and available quantity, and open the Cart. back from the Cart returns to these results. 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) or add 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 answer yes or no. 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.
