Record a session for each area, then move on. Start when you get there, stop when you’re done, walk to the next one. It’s easier to think that way, and it’s how most people do their best work.
Whatever you type is the title printed on the finished report, so call it what you’d call it.
File it where you’ll look for it later, by site, by client, by day. However you already keep track.
That’s it. From here you’re just walking and talking.
Walk the frontage, talk through what you can see from the ground.
Up the ladder, one session for everything you find up there.
Back inside. Different area, different session, same report.
Front, roof, mechanical room. Decide the order before you start and the report follows it.
Snap as many as you want without stopping the video. It keeps running the whole time.
Between sessions you can catch your breath, take a call, drive to the next unit. Nothing is lost.
You don’t have to talk like a report. Describe it the way you’d explain it to someone standing next to you. That’s the context ScribeCam writes from.
Metal flashing along the north joint has lifted, with a visible gap to daylight beneath the flashing line.
Asphalt shingles on both sides of the joint are cracked through in places, with significant granule loss throughout. Photographed at the time of observation.
No jargon required, no format to follow. Say it how you’d say it out loud and let the writing be someone else’s job.
A photo on its own is decoration. What you said around it is what makes it evidence of something.
You don’t have to hold it in your head until tonight. Once you’ve said it, it’s captured.
Stopping doesn’t end anything. Record the next area if there’s more to cover, and when you’ve covered everything, one tap turns every session into a finished report. There is no form waiting at the end of it.
That session is saved. Start another one if there’s more to cover.
When you’re done recording. Every session goes in together, whether that’s one or ten.
Your words become sections. Your photos land beside the part you were talking about.
An online report and a PDF, both finished, both ready to send.
Basements, roofs, back lots, rural sites. Sessions and photos are captured and held on the phone until you have a connection.
Your sessions and photos upload, the writing happens, and the finished report comes back to the phone. Keep the app open on decent signal while it runs. It shows you when it’s finished.
When these four are green your report is written and back on the phone. That’s the part you were waiting for.
The bundle is sealed for court-grade proof, stored in your Vault, then copied to your iCloud or Drive if you’ve connected one. This part can take a while, and you don’t have to wait for it.
A web page on its own link, readable on any phone or computer. Nothing to download, nothing to install.
The same report as a document. Attach it, print it, file it, hand it to whoever needs a copy.
Read it over, change anything you want, then decide who gets it. Nothing leaves until you share it.
Change a name, a number, a sentence you’d say differently. Do it on your phone before you leave the site, or at your desk in the web app. Edit it however you want. Each time you save, ScribeCam creates a new version of the report.
Water staining was observed on the north south wall of the utility room.
Not just the finished report. Every recording, every photo, every clip, and the record of how it was captured.
The link you shared reads straight from the Vault, with the writing, the photos and the clips. Nothing to host yourself, nothing filling up your phone.
Open it from the web app or the mobile app any time.
Switch on iCloud or Drive in the mobile app settings and reportbundle.zip is copied there as soon as the report is sealed.
Grab reportbundle.zip from the web app whenever you like and keep it in your own folder, on your own drive.
