What each tool actually does

  • Automated confirmation and reminder emails
  • Invoice generation and payment collection
  • Agreement e-signing
  • Does not write inspection reports
  • No AI photo analysis or voice transcription
AI REPORT WRITING

FieldScribe

FieldScribe is an AI report writing tool. Upload site photos and speak voice notes — FieldScribe writes the full professional PDF report for you. It does not handle scheduling, booking, or client CRM.

  • AI photo defect detection and captioning
  • Voice-to-report transcription (Whisper AI)
  • Liability-safe language rewriting
  • Professional branded PDF export
  • No scheduling or client booking
  • No business CRM features

The insight most inspectors miss: ISN and FieldScribe are not competitors — they solve different halves of the same problem. ISN manages how work comes in. FieldScribe manages how reports go out. Many high-volume inspectors use both.

Which do you actually need?

Solo inspector, report writing is your bottleneck

You're spending 2–3 hours per report and don't need scheduling automation. FieldScribe alone solves your problem at $149 total.

Growing business, need client management

You need automated booking, reminders, and invoicing. ISN alone handles the business side. You still need a report writing tool — many ISN users pair it with Spectora or HomeGauge.

High-volume inspector, both problems exist

Booking management AND fast report writing both matter. ISN + FieldScribe covers both at a fraction of the cost of ISN + Spectora.
