Many marine surveyors already talk through the boat. They record voice memos as they go, take photos, and then sit at the desk to play it all back and type the report, or dictate it into Word. Recording on board is quick. Turning the recordings into a report is where the evenings go.
Axsail keeps the part you already do, talking through the boat, and does the rest on the spot. What you say becomes structured findings while you're still on board, your photos land on the findings they show, and the draft report is ready minutes after the walk-round.
Why surveyors switch from voice memos to Axsail
No playback at the desk
Two hours of memos take two hours to play back, and longer to write up. With Axsail there's nothing to play back. Each finding is written as you speak it, and the desk work is reviewing and confirming.
Findings, not transcripts
Dictation gives you your sentences as text. A report needs findings: the system, the component, where it is, what you saw or measured, what should be done and how urgently. Axsail writes that structure from what you said. "Port engine raw water seacock seized, replace before relaunch" becomes a finding under the engine, with the recommendation and an A priority suggested.
The reading you forgot
A memo can't tell you it's missing a battery voltage. Axsail checks each finding for what the checklist item needs and asks on your phone while you're still standing at it.
Photos matched for you
Matching 300 photos to the right memo by timestamp is a job in itself. Axsail places each photo on the finding you were talking about when you took it.
