Photos, voice and dictation
You don’t have to type everything. Send Groomr a photo and it works out what it shows, or talk to it when your hands are busy.
Send a photo
“This is Bella after her groom”
Attach a photo to your message, with or without text. Groomr says in a few words what the photo shows and offers the matching next step. It acts once you agree, or straight away if your message already asked.
| You send | Groomr offers to |
|---|---|
| A photo of a dog | Save it to that pet’s photos. If two pets share the name, it asks which owner. |
| A vaccine card or vet record | Read the vaccines and show you a card to check them. Nothing is saved until you tap Save. Low-confidence rows are marked Check, and expired shots are marked Expired. |
| A receipt | Log the expense, reading the vendor, amount and date from the receipt. |
| A grooming van or trailer | Add the van. It reads the make, model, color, plate and any wrap text, marks each field “From photo”, and shows you a card to check before saving. |
If Groomr can’t tell what the photo is, or what you want done with it, it asks.
Or do it yourself
- In the chat box, select the + button (Add attachment).
- Choose Upload files or photos and pick the photo.
- Add a message if you like, then send.
Talk to Groomr hands-free
In your Groomr chat, the round orb at the right of the chat box starts hands-free voice.
- Tap the orb (Tap to arm hands-free voice).
- While it waits, it shows Listening for “Hey Jarvis”. Say that, then talk to Groomr as you would type to it.
- During a conversation the orb shows Listening…, Thinking… or Speaking…. Tap it to stop.
Dictate a message to your team
In conversations with people, such as a group conversation or a direct message with a coworker, the chat box has a microphone instead of the orb.
- Tap the microphone (Dictate a message) and speak.
- Tap it again to stop. Groomr adds what you said to the chat box.
- Read it over, fix anything, and send.
Dictation never sends on its own.
Good to know
- Location data is removed. When a photo is stored, Groomr strips its location (GPS) and other camera details, so a photo taken at a client’s home doesn’t carry the address.
- Vaccines from a photo are never saved in the same step. You always check the card first. Expiry dates you save drive vaccine reminders.
- A van’s home base and service area are set afterwards under Settings → Business → Profile, on the Vehicles tab.
