# SaidText ROI > SaidText ROI helps US manufacturers measure the impact of voice capture: faster reporting, fewer lost signals, and quantified downtime savings. Operators report by voice in under 4 seconds instead of 5+ minutes of typing, so equipment issues and operational signals are captured before they are lost between shifts. The built-in calculator estimates recovered hours and downtime savings from your own inputs; outputs are directional estimates, not guarantees. ## Pricing All plans include unlimited voice tickets and a 14-day money-back guarantee.

Why do we need SaidText? SaidText doesn't replace your CMMS — it feeds it better data, faster. Workers speak instead of typing. AI structures the ticket and routes it to your CMMS (SAP, Maximo, Oracle, Infor) via webhook or API. Your existing tools get more accurate data with zero admin lag. ### How fast do we see ROI? Reporting time drops on day one (under 4 seconds vs 5+ minutes per ticket). Within 2 weeks, you'll see faster dispatch and fewer missed issues. Most operations measure meaningful downtime reduction within 30 days. ### What does setup look like? Do we need IT involved? No IT department required. SaidText is cloud-based — your team signs up, gets access, and starts filing voice tickets in under 30 minutes. No hardware. No installs. Workers use their existing phones. IT can be involved for CMMS integration, but it's not required to start. ### How does the 14-day money-back guarantee work? Purchase a plan and go live in minutes. Run SaidText on your real operations, risk-free. If it isn't the right fit within the first 14 days, contact us for a full refund — no questions asked. Continue with confidence knowing your data stays yours. ### Is our data secure? What about audio privacy? Audio is used only to generate the ticket — then automatically deleted. Only structured text records are retained. Data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3), access is role-based, and a full audit trail tracks every action. We don't sell or share your data. ### Will my workers actually use this? Yes — because it's easier than typing. Workers press one button, speak for 10 seconds, and they're done. No training required. No forms. No apps to learn. In early pilots, frontline adoption was the biggest surprise — workers prefer speaking over filling out forms. ### What happens to the knowledge when workers retire? Every voice report is permanently captured as structured, searchable data. SaidText builds your institutional memory automatically — so when senior technicians retire, their decades of observations stay in your database. New hires access it instantly. ### What does pricing look like? Starter is $490/mo for up to 10 operators. Pro is $1,490/mo for up to 50. Business is $3,490/mo for up to 150. Enterprise is custom. All plans include unlimited voice tickets. No per-ticket fees. No hidden costs. ### Can I change plans later? Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from your dashboard. Changes take effect immediately with prorated billing. No long-term contracts. No cancellation fees. ### Does SaidText certify OSHA compliance? No. SaidText is not a compliance product. We provide structured, timestamped, exportable records that support your documentation workflows and make audits easier. Compliance responsibility remains with the employer. ## SaidText ecosystem - https://roi.usesaidtext.com — ROI / cost-savings calculator for voice capture (this site). - https://usesaidtext.com — SaidText, the voice capture layer platform (overview + full pricing). - https://downtime.usesaidtext.com — voice-to-work-order maintenance reporting. - https://osha.usesaidtext.com — OSHA 300/301 & EHS safety recordkeeping. - https://enterprise.usesaidtext.com — governed, multi-site enterprise deployments (SSO, RBAC, audit logs). ## More - Full FAQ + structured data: https://roi.usesaidtext.com/faq.html - Platform pricing: https://usesaidtext.com/#pricing _Last generated from pricing v2026-07-03.
