Call Transcription for Arborists — Never Forget a Call
Being an arborist means you're always on the move, often in noisy environments and difficult-to-access locations. When a call comes in, you might be up a tree, operating a chainsaw, or driving to the next job. It's easy to miss or forget critical details from a client conversation, like the exact address for an urgent quote, the specific tree that needs attention, or the agreed-upon price. These small lapses in memory can lead to wasted time, frustrated clients, and ultimately, lost income.
How Rewynd Works for Arborists
Rewynd is a mobile call transcription app that works silently in the background to automatically record and transcribe your answered phone calls. When a new client calls about a hazardous tree, you can give them your full attention, safe in the knowledge that every detail of the conversation is being captured. Later, you can review the full transcription and pull out key action items, ensuring nothing gets missed. It requires zero change to your normal workflow; just set it up once and answer your phone as you always do.
Common Calls Arborists Forget
Here are some realistic examples of important details that can get lost in the day-to-day of an arborist:
- A homeowner calls about a large gum tree dropping limbs near their fence at 24 Banksia Drive and wants a quote for removal. You're in the middle of a noisy job and forget to write down the street number.
- A property manager calls with a list of five trees that need pruning across a large commercial site, but you only manage to jot down notes for three of them.
- A client approves a quote over the phone for a complex stump grinding job, but you forget the agreed-upon price when it comes time to create the invoice.
- An emergency call comes in about a storm-damaged tree that's fallen on a roof. In the rush to get to the site, you forget the client's name and have to awkwardly ask for it again.
- You discuss specific access requirements with a client for a job with a tight squeeze, like needing to move a caravan, but forget to pass this crucial detail onto your ground crew.
What Rewynd Captures Automatically
Rewynd automatically extracts the important details from your calls, so you can focus on the work at hand. Here are some of the action items it can capture for you:

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Rewynd work on construction sites with poor reception?
Rewynd relies on your mobile carrier's call forwarding service. As long as you can receive the phone call, Rewynd will be able to transcribe it. The transcription process happens after the call is completed, so it is not affected by poor reception during the call itself.
Can I share call details with my ground crew?
Yes, Rewynd's team actions feature is free for all team members. You can easily share call transcriptions and action items with your crew to ensure everyone is on the same page.
Is it legal to record phone calls in Australia?
In Australia, it is legal to record a phone conversation if you are a party to that conversation, which as the person answering the call, you are. However, it's always good practice to inform the other party that the call may be recorded for quality and training purposes.
What happens if I'm using a hands-free device in the truck?
Rewynd works seamlessly with Bluetooth and other hands-free devices. As long as the call is answered on your mobile phone, Rewynd will capture and transcribe it, regardless of how you are speaking and listening to the call.
