Quick Log and voice notes without leaving the work

Capture a research decision from Excel, Word, Numbers or Pages using a small Quick Log window or local voice transcription.

How can researchers document data work without interrupting it?

Use a lightweight capture tool at the moment a decision is made. SepiaLog’s Quick Log records a memo for the most recent project without requiring the researcher to leave the application where the data work is happening.

The research problem

Documentation habits often fail because the note-taking tool is elsewhere. A researcher finishes a transformation in a spreadsheet, intends to document it later, and moves immediately to the next task.

How the workflow works

  1. Open Quick Log from SepiaLog, the desktop shortcut or tray/menu-bar item.
  2. Type a short memo or dictate it using local transcription.
  3. Save it to the most recently opened project with its tags and context.

Common questions

Does voice transcription upload audio?

SepiaLog is designed to use local transcription when the optional local speech component is configured.

Can Quick Log attach to any project?

It writes to the most recently opened project so the capture remains fast.

Is Quick Log required?

No. The full New note screen remains available for richer documentation.
