One click to type the serial number. One click to send the report in Spanish or French.

Two AI tools built into the InspectorData report writer. Photograph a data plate and the AI writes the model and serial number into your comment. Finish the report, pick English, Español or Français, and your client gets the whole report in their language.

Same comment, three languages
Example text for illustration. Model and serial numbers stay exactly as printed in every language.
One click each

Short answer: yes. InspectorData reads model and serial numbers from data-plate photos and writes them into the report with one click on Generate. When the report is done, one pick in the Step 4 Language menu delivers it in English, Spanish or French. Your English original never changes.

1. Serial numbers, typed for you

No more zooming in on a glare-covered label and retyping long strings one character at a time.

  • Photograph the data plate on the water heater, furnace, condenser, panel or appliance.
  • Click Generate: the comment includes the brand, model, serial, manufacture date and capacity.
  • Copied, never guessed: O and 0, I and 1 kept apart; any unreadable character is shown as "?".
  • No label, no numbers: photos without a data plate get a normal comment with no made-up details.

2. English, Spanish or French in one click

Many buyers read Spanish or French more comfortably than English. Give them a report they can actually read, without writing it twice.

  • Write once in English, exactly as you do today.
  • Pick the language in Step 4: English, Español or Français.
  • View, PDF or Save to Profile: the whole client report comes out translated, comments, headings, summary and disclaimers included.
  • Your English stays untouched. The translated copy is saved with "Spanish" or "French" in its title, so both versions sit side by side.

Better together

The serial number the AI reads from the label goes out unchanged in every language, so a Spanish- or French-speaking buyer gets the same exact numbers for recalls, warranties and age lookups.

Minutes back on every job

No retyping labels and no second report to write by hand.

Win more clients

Agents who serve Spanish- and French-speaking buyers can send them to an inspector whose report their clients can read.

Accuracy first

Numbers are copied, never guessed, and they stay untouched through translation.

Included

Both tools are part of the AI report writer on every InspectorData plan. No add-on fee.

Built by a Certified Master Inspector

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I give my client a home inspection report in Spanish?

Yes. In Step 4 pick Español from the Language menu, then view, download or save the report. The whole client report is translated, and your English original is not changed.

Which languages are available?

English, Spanish and French.

Does translation change model numbers, names or addresses?

No. People's names, company names, street addresses, emails, phone numbers, model and serial numbers, and measurements stay exactly as written.

Can AI read a water heater serial number from a photo?

Yes. When the photo on a finding shows the data plate, Generate or Re-Generate writes the model number, serial number, manufacture date and capacity into the comment, copied exactly as printed. Unreadable characters become a question mark and no number is ever invented.

Do these cost extra?

No. Both are part of the AI report writer and included with every InspectorData plan.
