Switching from writing the report by hand
There is no account to close here and no export to request. What you are leaving is the hour after the last client, and the document or notebook you write it in. So this page skips the import steps the other guides need and says three things instead: what you do today, what changes, and what stays exactly as it is.
What you do today
The session ends. You keep a few lines of notes, and the write-up waits for the next gap in your week. Wherever that gap falls, the session is older by the time you reach it, and you are writing from those few lines and whatever you still remember. The client, meanwhile, has had nothing since they walked out.
Time one write-up end to end, once: reading your notes, remembering what actually happened, writing it, reading it back, sending it. Then count the sessions in a normal week. Twenty minutes and ten sessions is three hours twenty a week, and about a hundred and thirty three hours across forty working weeks. Those are the example numbers this site already uses, and yours are the ones that matter. A coach, tutor, trainer or consultant with six sessions a week and a fast fifteen minutes still spends sixty hours a year on it.
The second cost shows up later and is not time. Twenty write-ups done by hand are twenty documents, in as many places as you have used in a year, and answering "what did we agree in March" means first remembering which of those you were using in March.
The full arithmetic, on your own two numbers.
What changes
The draft is written from the recording rather than from memory, and it is waiting when you finish. What is left is reading it, changing what is wrong, and sending it. Slide does not turn the twenty minutes into zero, and any page that tells you it does is selling you something. What it changes is what the twenty minutes is made of, and the difference between writing and reading is yours to measure on your own sessions rather than ours to quote at you.
Two other things move with it. The write-up can go out the same evening instead of at the weekend: the sample write-up on this site is a forty five minute algebra session on Tuesday 9 June, with the parent email under it marked sent at 6:41 pm the same day. And the twenty documents become one history: every write-up sits on that client's page in order, so the twentieth session opens with the previous nineteen already there, and the client can read the same page.
Today you get a write-up by uploading the session recording, which works on every plan. The meeting recorder that would join a Zoom or Google Meet call for you is not live yet and has never joined a call, so nothing on this page depends on it.
Recording starts only after everyone in the session has agreed, and nothing reaches a client before you have read it. How recording consent works.
What you keep
Everything you already have. Nothing here asks you to delete a document, close an account, or stop writing the way you write.
- Your words. Slide drafts, you edit, you press send. There is no automatic send and there never will be.
- Your old write-ups. They stay wherever they are. You can paste an old one into a client's page if you want the history in one place, or leave it alone.
- Your own way of getting paid. Slide never processes payments between you and your client, and Slide takes no commission, ever. You keep 100% of what you earn.
- Your tools. Your site, your calendar, your socials and your marketplace listings all keep working. Slide sits alongside them.
- The exit. Export your clients, your notes and your write-ups at any time. How that works.
What it costs: a 7-day Pro trial with no card, then $14.99 a month on Starter, $29.99 on Pro, or $49.99 on Max. Starter includes 20 write-ups a month, Pro 200 and Max 500, and one past your allowance is $0.99. The first 30 founding practitioners get Pro at $19 a month for 12 months, then $29.99.
Try it on one session
Bring one recording, or paste what was said, and read the write-up your client would have got. It takes about a minute, and it needs no account and no card.
