In progressA day on Penwright
Three moments where it pays for itself
- 01
Right after the subject interview
Speak the impressions and standout quotes the moment you leave the room. Penwright files them into NVivo or your transcript folder.
- 02
Reading a paper, dictating notes
Three minutes of voice notes per paper. By end of week you have a structured lit review instead of a stack of PDFs.
- 03
Grant-narrative drafting
Speak the rationale section while it's sharp in your head. Penwright turns the rambling first take into structured prose.
