## What is Marine Survey Writer?

Dictate the survey on deck. Review the finished report at your desk.

Marine Survey Writer captures your spoken observations and photographs as you
inspect a vessel, then assembles them into a structured, professionally
formatted survey report — before you leave the boat.

THE HOURS AFTER THE SURVEY

A full day aboard is followed by several more hours at a keyboard, turning
recordings, scribbled notes and a camera roll into a finished document. Marine
Survey Writer does that assembly for you, so the draft is waiting when you sit
down.

FOUR STEPS FROM DECK TO DOCUMENT

1. Talk. Record your observations finding by finding, in manageable segments.
Pause to think — pausing never splits a finding in two.

2. Add photos. Attach photographs directly to the finding you are describing,
so an image and the words about it never become separated.

3. Generate the draft. Your findings are placed into the correct report
sections, with defects collected into a severity-graded schedule.

4. Review and export. Check any statement against the recording it came from,
edit anything you want to change, then export to Word.

BUILT FOR HOW SURVEYORS ACTUALLY WORK

• Segmented capture — every finding recorded as its own item, not one long
  unusable file
• Photos paired to findings — no more matching a camera roll to a notebook at
  midnight
• Graded defect schedule — findings sorted by severity, assembled automatically
• Fully traceable — every line in the draft can be checked against its source
  recording
• Poor signal is fine — engine rooms, boatyards and remote moorings. Your work
  is held safely on the device and uploaded once a connection returns
• Editable Word export — the report leaves as a document you own and can finish
  in your own software
• Your terminology and structure — the report reads like your practice, not a
  template

YOU REMAIN THE SURVEYOR

Marine Survey Writer organises and formats what you provide. It will not invent
an inspection, a measurement, a condition or a recommendation that you did not
give it. Anything incomplete or unclear is flagged for your review rather than
filled in.

YOUR CLIENTS' DATA

Surveys, recordings and photographs are private to your account and stored
securely. Nothing is used for advertising or tracking.

FOR PROFESSIONAL MARINE SURVEYORS

Built for working surveyors on sail and power vessels who want their reporting
time back, without giving up control of their own professional judgement.

A Marine Survey Writer account is required to use the app.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-11-06

Your report now follows your own survey form. Work through it section by section on board: record findings, tick sections with no issues, add readings and photos.

Sailing yachts get a Rig, Sails & Deck Gear section; motor boats never do.

The draft keeps your standing text, grade labels and layout. Report writing runs in the background and opens the new draft when done.

A cleaner, simpler design throughout.
