Quick Capture

noun · a Voice Sheet feature
  1. A text box where you write several spreadsheet entries at once, in your own words — as a list, a run-on sentence or a pasted note.
  2. The process of turning that unstructured text into structured rows: AI finds where one entry ends and the next begins, reads your sheet's columns, and fills each row with the right date, amount, category and notes.
How it splits text

Write it however it comes out.

You don't need a format. Quick Capture understands the ways people naturally separate one thing from the next — and you can mix them in a single note.

New linesOne entry per line, like a shopping list.
Commas“Lunch 15, Uber 25, coffee 5.”
Bullets & dashesPasted lists keep working as they are.
Plain words“…and then”, “also”, “plus” — the way you'd say it.
SentencesFull stops between separate things.

→ Six entries, six rows. If the text turns out to describe only one thing, Quick Capture adds a single row.

Every entry, its own details

One note. Each entry on its own day.

Each entry is read on its own, so “yesterday” and “on Friday” land on the right days — worked out from your phone's date. Entries without a date get today.

Amounts become numbers

“$15”, “15 dollars” and “15” all land as 15.00, so your totals add up.

Categories from your list

Dropdown columns only get options you've defined — never a made-up one.

Tidy text

Notes are cleaned up and capitalised, even if you typed in a hurry.

FAQ

Quick Capture questions

How do I convert notes into a Google Sheets table?

Open Quick Capture in Voice Sheet, paste or type your notes, and tap Submit. The app splits the text into separate entries, matches each part to your sheet's columns, and adds every entry as its own row.

Can I add multiple rows to Google Sheets at once from my phone?

Yes. Quick Capture adds as many rows as your text describes — a list of five expenses becomes five rows in one submit.

Does my text need a special format?

No. New lines, commas, bullets, full stops or plain words like “and then” all work, and you can mix them.

What if an entry comes out wrong?

Entries are added straight to your sheet. Open Recent Entries in the app to edit any of them, or fix it in Google Sheets directly.

Can I dictate instead of typing?

Yes — tap the microphone key on your phone's keyboard and speak the list. For single entries with a review step, use voice entry.

Does Quick Capture work offline?

You can write while offline and your text is saved as a draft. Submit it once you're connected again.

Is Quick Capture free?

Quick Capture is a Premium feature — $4.99 a month or $39.99 a year, with a free trial for eligible new subscribers.
