4:48 tutorial · Updated 2026-09-27

What you'll learn

This 4:48 tutorial follows one inspection from the first photo to sending the finished report, using the InspectorData mobile app and the desktop report writer.

  • Report vs. Gallery: capture defects, safety issues, maintenance items and serial numbers for the report; save overview photos for later.
  • Talk or type quick comments on site. AI sorts each photo into the right category and fixes grammar, spelling and typos.
  • Build Report on Phone: review photos, rotate them, draw arrows and add annotations.
  • Move photos between categories, with 4 seconds to undo.
  • Fill in Report Details and Styles on site, so you are not relying on memory later.
  • Fix "No Comment" photos fast with Generate Comment and Generate All.
  • Set each item's status: Inspected, Not Inspected, Not Present, Deficient or Not Included.
  • Tag comments as Danger, Safety Issue, Warning, Professional Needed or Summary.
  • Track progress with the completion circle, preview the report, then Save to Profile and send.
