A two-second audio comment, faster than typing.
Instead of typing on a touchscreen with gloves on, dictate your observation. PhotoReport records the audio and attaches it directly to your annotation on the plan.

On a construction site, your hands are full, gloves are thick, sometimes there's rain or dust. Typing a detailed comment on your iPhone screen is slow and frustrating. With PhotoReport, tap the mic icon on the annotation, dictate what you want to say, it's saved. The recipient of the report listens directly from the interactive PDF or the shared link. Audio files are .m4a, a universal format readable everywhere.
Three reasons to use audio over typing
Faster
A 30-second audio observation replaces three minutes of typing on a touchscreen, gloves or no gloves.
More precise
You describe what you see with the right vocabulary, tone, detail. Writing often loses the nuance.
More human
The recipient recognizes your voice, understands the intent. Audio comes across better than dry text.
When to use an audio comment
- Site visit in the rain, gloves keeping fingers warm
- Quick walkthrough where typing would slow your tour
- Technical observation with specific vocabulary
- Briefing a colleague who will take over the next visit
