Deck-to-bilge survey report on the dock. Buyer closes Friday.
Pre-purchase survey report delays hold up closings and frustrate buyers. Fieldnote captures your findings from bow to stern by voice and produces a SAMS/ABYC-compliant report before you leave the marina.
No credit card. Works on any phone.
If this sounds familiar…
- •Pre-purchase survey reports that take days to deliver delay closings and leave buyers anxious.
- •Documenting hull, deck, rigging, mechanical, and electrical systems by hand takes as long as the survey itself.
- •Insurance underwriters and lenders need specific SAMS/ABYC data — manual formatting wastes billable time.
Here's what Fieldnote does for you
Walk the vessel narrating findings by system — hull, deck, rig, mechanical, electrical — Fieldnote structures the SAMS/ABYC-aligned report.
Deliver a complete survey report the same day; buyers can move to closing on Friday instead of waiting two weeks.
Moisture readings, through-hull conditions, and safety equipment status captured in context with photos attached to each finding.

Questions
Will Fieldnote replace my current marine surveyor software?
For most solo marine surveyors, yes. Fieldnote generates the same style of marine survey report with photos, severities, and recommendations. You can import your existing branding.
What happens if I have no cell signal on-site?
Recording works offline. Photos and audio queue locally and upload when you're back in signal. The report generates once everything's uploaded.
Can I edit the AI's output before sending?
Yes. After generation, you review every finding, edit wording, change severity, add or remove items, and reorder. Then you send.
Is my data secure?
All recordings and reports are encrypted at rest and in transit. Your data is never used to train models. You can export or delete everything at any time.
How accurate is the transcription?
We use industry-leading speech recognition. In normal field environments, accuracy is 95%+. The review step lets you fix the rare mistake.
