How it works

It’s as easy as recording a video.

No new tools. No new habits. Just the phone you already carry.
Hit record, talk through what you see, and snap photos while it’s still rolling.What comes back is a finished report.

Walk It in Sessions

You don’t have to do it all in one long take.

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.

Before you start
1
Name the report

Whatever you type is the title printed on the finished report, so call it what you’d call it.

2
Pick a category

File it where you’ll look for it later, by site, by client, by day. However you already keep track.

3
Tap start recording

That’s it. From here you’re just walking and talking.

Why work this way
01

Plan the walk by area

Front, roof, mechanical room. Decide the order before you start and the report follows it.

02

Photos while it rolls

Snap as many as you want without stopping the video. It keeps running the whole time.

03

Stop and think

Between sessions you can catch your breath, take a call, drive to the next unit. Nothing is lost.

Walk it the way you’d walk it anyway. Record as you go.
Talk It Through

Say what you see. In your own words.

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.

What you said
Session 2 · 01:12“Okay so… up here, the flashing, yeah, the flashing’s lifted right along this joint. You can see daylight underneath it.”
Session 2 · 01:31“Shingles either side are curling pretty bad. Actually, scratch that, it’s worse than curling, couple of them are cracked right through. Lot of granule loss too. Getting a photo now.”
Session 2 · 02:04“Note to self, make sure this one gets flagged for follow-up before the next storm.”
What the report says

Roof, north slope

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.

Follow-upFlag the north slope for follow-up ahead of the next storm.
Talk however it comes out. Pauses, half-finished sentences, a correction partway through, a note to yourself. None of that lands in the report. What you settled on does.
And a checklist, if you use one
Roof inspectionRecording
  • Flashing and joints
  • Shingle condition
  • Vent boots and penetrations
  • Gutters and downspouts
Built for the job you do, on screen while you record. Tick items off as you cover them.
01

Plain English is enough

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.

02

Your words give photos meaning

A photo on its own is decoration. What you said around it is what makes it evidence of something.

03

Nothing to remember

You don’t have to hold it in your head until tonight. Once you’ve said it, it’s captured.

Your spoken context becomes a professionally written report.
Done Means Done

Press stop. Record again, or create the report.

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.

1

Stop recording

That session is saved. Start another one if there’s more to cover.

2

Tap Create Report

When you’re done recording. Every session goes in together, whether that’s one or ten.

3

ScribeCam writes it

Your words become sections. Your photos land beside the part you were talking about.

4

It comes back twice

An online report and a PDF, both finished, both ready to send.

Recording works with no signal

Basements, roofs, back lots, rural sites. Sessions and photos are captured and held on the phone until you have a connection.

Creating the report needs one

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.

Capture first, create when you’re connected. Nothing you recorded is at risk while you wait for signal.

Vault
iCloud

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.

The online report

A web page on its own link, readable on any phone or computer. Nothing to download, nothing to install.

The PDF

The same report as a document. Attach it, print it, file it, hand it to whoever needs a copy.

It comes back to you first.

Read it over, change anything you want, then decide who gets it. Nothing leaves until you share it.

The Edit

It comes back written. You still have the last word.

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.

Your edits don’t replace anything. Each save adds a version to the list, with its own online report and its own PDF, and the report you were first given stays right where it is. You can name each version as you go.
