Stop typing inspection reports at night. FieldNote turns what you say on-site into a finished, branded inspection report โ before you're back in the truck. Walk the property, talk through what you see, and FieldNote organizes your words into a clean, professional report you can review and send in minutes. Or type your notes instead โ a report is always one tap away. No cloud. No account. No signal required. Everything โ recording, transcription, and drafting โ happens on your device. BUILT FOR INSPECTORS WORLDWIDE Choose your country and FieldNote loads the right report standard for your market โ InterNACHI/ASHI (US & Canada), RICS Home Survey (UK), AS 4349.1 (Australia), NZS 4306 (New Zealand), Ireland pre-purchase, and a universal template everywhere else. The whole app โ and the report it drafts โ is localized in 34 languages. HOW IT WORKS 1. Tap record and inspect like you normally would, talking as you go (or type your notes). 2. FieldNote transcribes on-device and sorts your words into the right standard systems for your region. 3. It flags the severity of each finding โ from monitor to safety hazard โ and warns you about any required system you didn't mention. 4. Review, edit, attach photos, and export a branded PDF for your client.
