How does voice babysitter instructions work?

You speak a short description of your baby or child — feeding, nap and bedtime routine, medication, who to call and your pediatrician. Baby Care Cards writes it into the matching care card fields and shows them to you for review. Nothing is saved until you confirm it, so you stay in control of every word.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in the browser on phones, tablets and computers. Where your browser has built-in dictation, the speech is turned into text on the device itself; otherwise the recording is transcribed and then discarded.

Is my voice recording stored?

No. Recordings are never saved. They are used only to produce the text you see on the review screen, and your child's details stay on your own device.

You get two free voice fills. After that, voice is part of the one-off lifetime unlock — $4.99, one payment, no subscription. Typing everything in by hand stays free and unlimited.

What languages does it support?

Voice fill is English only for now. You can type in any language you like.

What if it gets something wrong?

Everything lands on an editable review screen first, so you can correct it before it saves. Always check medication names and doses against the label — Baby Care Cards never suggests, changes or interprets a dose.

Talk about your child — we'll write the care card

Nobody wants to type out feeding times at 11pm the night before you go out. Speak for about a minute and Baby Care Cards fills in the babysitter instructions for you: bottles and meals, nap and diapering routine, medication, emergency contacts and your pediatrician. You check every field before anything is saved.

Medication is copied, never interpreted. Doses are written down exactly as you say them and flagged for you to check against the label. Baby Care Cards gives no medical advice.
Two free voice fills, then the one-off unlock. $4.99, one payment, lifetime access, no subscription. Typing stays free.
English for now. Voice fill understands English; you can always type in any language.
