Introduction
What Dafado is, and the idea behind it.
Dafado is voice reviews for real places and the people who run them. A guest scans a QR code, holds a button, and talks for about 20 seconds. Dafado does the rest: it transcribes the recording, cleans it up, can translate it into any language a reader needs, and publishes it as a page that plays back the actual voice.
The idea
The most useful thing a customer can tell you is rarely a number. A 5-star rating hides the reason; a real voice carries it. You can hear whether someone is delighted or just polite, whether a complaint is fair or a rant. Dafado is built on that difference.
Two principles hold the whole product together:
- Every real voice stays up. The good and the hard alike. No place can reorder its reviews, hide a low rating, or pay to make one disappear. That is the whole reason a Dafado review is worth trusting.
- Every place can answer. Not with a typed template, but in its own recorded voice, shown right beside the review.
What a guest does
- Scan a QR code on the table, the receipt, or a sticker.
- Speak for around 20 seconds. No app, no account, no keyboard.
- Share the page that publishes, with the real audio, a clean transcript, and one-tap translation.
What an owner gets
A living picture of a place: transcribed, translated, and analysed for themes, sentiment, and trends, updated as new voices come in. Plus the right to reply in their own voice, and a findable page for every review.
About these docs
These pages describe how Dafado actually works, in precise detail, and are kept in sync with the platform. They never contain live credentials: where a page references a key or token, it names where that value lives, never the value itself.
