Inspectors who made the switch

I was paying for features I used maybe 20% of. FieldScribe does the two things I actually need — AI photo write-ups and voice notes. Paid for itself day one.

The AI voice transcription alone saves me 90 minutes per report. Nothing in my old workflow touched that.

Property Inspector, FL

Spectora is great software, but I wanted to prove the report-writing workflow before taking on another monthly tool. FieldScribe let me start with one report.
