Site Log turns a site walk into a finished report in the time it takes to walk the room. Take one photo of the area. Tap or circle each item on it and every mark gets a number. Talk through the items in your own language. Tap Generate and Site Log writes a clean numbered list in English, or any of 37 languages, one item per mark, each with a trade and a priority. Check the list, save it to the project and send a branded PDF before you leave the room. BUILT FOR REAL SITES - Speak any language. A Polish electrician, a Hindi-speaking foreman and an Arabic-speaking supervisor all get the same clean English report. - Capture works with no signal. Your photo, marks and recording are kept on the phone and written up when you are back online. - Nothing is lost. If a call comes in or the phone locks, what you have said so far is kept.
