Workflows
Speech recognition, intelligent OCR and voice-driven processes
The biggest barrier to admin in most businesses is the keyboard: technicians, site managers, warehouse staff, drivers and owners on the road simply cannot type while working. The result is scribbled notes, lost slips, forgotten tasks and exhausting late-night data entry. Old OCR (Abbyy, Tesseract) fails on crumpled, skewed or handwritten paper; multimodal vision AI and real-time speech recognition make the voice and the camera the fastest business input device.
- Speech to text at 99% accuracy with engine noise filtered
- Hands-free voice picking: 30–40% faster warehouse assembly, zero mistyping, no expensive scanners

Voice note to full system workflow (voice-to-action)
After a meeting the tech gets in the van, presses record on WhatsApp, Telegram or a smartwatch and talks for 45 seconds: 'Spoke with Horváth Kft, they want a 120k maintenance quote by next Friday, contact Béla Horváth, 30-987-6543, billing address Győr, Fő tér 4.' Whisper + Claude + n8n transcribe at 99% with engine noise removed, extract entities, create the partner in MiniCRM/HubSpot, set the deadline task, generate the quote draft in Billingo/Számlázz.hu and reply in five words: 'Horváth Kft quote logged, calendar set!'.

Handwriting recognition and worksheet digitisation
Service firms, site managers, surveyors and doctors still work with hand-filled forms and site protocols. Multimodal vision AI reads skewed photos, crumpled paper and hard-to-read handwriting in context, extracts ticked boxes, measured values, materials used and the customer's signature, and five seconds after upload the official digital PDF protocol is done, data is in the ERP, and the customer has the worksheet by email.

Warehouse and workshop voice control (hands-free picking and inventory)
For pickers, packers, machine operators and assemblers whose hands are busy. Through a wireless earpiece: 'Shelf C-14, take 10 copper elbows.' The AI checks the ERP or WMS and answers in the ear: 'Logged.

Expense and receipt processing (one photo, instant claim)
The month-end nightmare of crumpled parking, fuel and restaurant receipts ends. Staff photograph the receipt at payment in the company app or Telegram bot; vision AI extracts merchant and tax number (Shell, MOL, a restaurant), date and time, gross amount, VAT rate and content, and item type (fuel, hospitality, motorway vignette), assigns it to the employee, adds it to the monthly expense sheet and reconciles it with company-card charges.

Real-time executive voice assistant ('Jarvis')
Running the company from behind the wheel, without touching the phone: 'What was yesterday's webshop revenue?' → the AI queries the database and speaks: '1,450,000 Ft from 38 orders.' 'Remind Anna in finance to send the leasing contract by 2 pm' → Slack/Teams message sent. 'Move tomorrow's 10 o'clock to Thursday 2 pm' → calendar updated, attendees notified.

Part identification from a photo (visual part ID)
The technician meets an old, worn, unlabelled valve, pump or motor. From a phone photo the vision AI compares shape, connectors and fragments of visible codes against supplier exploded diagrams and catalogues, and returns the exact type number, current stock, price and modern replacement products.

Call quality assurance and sentiment (voice QA)
Automatic audit of every support and sales call: pitch, volume and tempo reveal frustration and trigger an alert to the team lead or flag the call for urgent callback; promises that deviate from contract terms are caught (compliance check); in high-security cases the caller's voice pattern is compared to prevent fraud.
