SwiftReporter · Changelog

Talk your way through an inspection, then review every suggestion before it reaches the report

AI Report Assist lets you capture spoken findings and photos as you walk the property, then turn them into drafted observations you approve one at a time. This release also brings HomeGauge template import, so switching software no longer means rebuilding your library by hand.

Added

• AI Report Assist — Start a capture session on an inspection, dictate findings with audio or video, and add photos as you go. When you are ready, run Analyze session and SwiftReporter drafts observations from what you captured — matching your existing comment library first and writing a summary when there is no match. Nothing reaches your report until you approve it.
• Assist review queue — Work through drafted findings one at a time with full editing: adjust the wording, set category, subcategory, severity, and location, and assign the photos and videos that belong to each finding. Approve writes the observation; reject discards it.
• AI Assist Bulk Upload — Upload a batch of videos and photos straight from your device and let Assist draft observations from the whole set instead of processing clips one by one.
• HomeGauge template import — Upload a HomeGauge .ht5 file to create a SwiftReporter template along with its full comment library. Report sections, categories, subcategories, condition checkboxes, dropdowns, notes, and defect comments all carry across.
• Inspections card on the mobile home screen — Jump straight to your inspections list without opening the menu.

Changed

• Quote Calculator on mobile — Now available to every signed-in inspector. It opens instantly with sensible defaults while your saved rate profiles load in the background.
• Multi-shot web camera — Capturing photos for an observation, question, or note now keeps the camera open so you can take several shots in a row and add them all at once. Cover photos remain a single shot.
• Android photo library access — Picking existing photos and videos now uses the Android system photo picker, so SwiftReporter no longer needs broad access to your entire media library.
• Square Appointments integration removed — SwiftReporter Appointments is now the single scheduling path. Existing appointments and scheduling settings inside SwiftReporter are unaffected.

Fixed

• Echo while recording video on web — The live preview is now muted during recording, so narrating a clip no longer produces feedback through your speakers.
• Checkbox answers on shared reports — Answers saved by older versions of the app now display correctly in shared and published reports instead of failing to render.
• Mobile menu scrolling — The sidebar scrolls when there are more menu items than fit on screen.
• Polish and reliability improvements across dictation, media upload, and the template import flows.

This release is about getting findings out of your head and into the report faster — while keeping you the one who decides what the report actually says.

Self-service scheduling and practical setup tools for inspectors

Customers can now book available inspection times online, while inspectors gain a Tools hub for pricing estimates and observation-summary preferences.

Added

• Public Booking — Share a booking page, configure business hours, booking windows, buffers, and daily limits, collect customer details, confirm bookings by email code, and create normal appointments ready for inspector follow-up with inspections and agreements.
• Tools hub — Open the inspector utilities available to your account from one place on web or mobile.
• Quote Calculator — Build itemized standalone fee estimates from saved inspection-type profiles and property, travel, and workload inputs.
• Custom Prompts — Save personal tone and style preferences for future observation summaries and preview the result without writing to an inspection.
• Glossary — Manage up to 300 private terms, import or export CSV files, review conflicts, and preview which matched terms guide a summary.
• Getting Started example template — New standard accounts begin with an active, editable example inspection template that demonstrates categories, questions, observations, photos, and audio.

Changed

• All-in-One Trial — New accounts receive 30 days of full access with unlimited watermark-free reports and Back of House, but no free report credits. Mobile shows trial status and the end date, while billing and upgrades open through Manage Account on Web without displaying prices.
• Public booking to portal — Customers who verify a booking can go straight to the portal without another login. Inspectors can preview the customer portal and return to their account.
• Observation summaries — Saved Custom Prompt preferences and matching Glossary terms can guide future summaries while remaining separate from inspection facts.

Fixed

• Booking conflicts — If a selected slot is taken before confirmation, customers are prompted to choose another time instead of creating a conflicting appointment.

This release helps customers schedule faster and gives inspectors more control over pricing and report language.

Find comments faster with partial search, plus template editor reliability fixes

Version 1.10.0 makes the comments library much easier to search on large libraries, fixes a frustrating Template Settings typing bug on custom severity labels, and polishes template-editor scrolling on web.

Changed

• Smarter comment library search — Search now uses partial, multi-term matching across title, description, recommendation, and section names, so abbreviated out-of-order queries like ext rail low can find the right comment even when the words are spread across the title and category. When you enter search text, SwiftReporter scans your full accessible library before paginating results, so matches are not hidden behind the first browse page.
• Comment search on mobile — The mobile comment list and in-inspection comment pickers use the same partial matching, so inspectors get consistent search behavior in the field.
• View Report navigation — Table-of-contents and deep-link scrolling on the read-only report viewer now lands more reliably on the target section, category, subcategory, or observation.

Fixed

• Custom severity label inputs — Renaming Low, Medium, and High display names in Template Settings no longer scrambles or drops characters when you type quickly. The three label fields save after a brief pause (matching template title and description), and switching templates reloads the correct saved labels.
• Template editor scroll after add — Adding a new section or category on the Templates page now scrolls the page so the new row is visible above the add controls instead of leaving it off-screen.
• Polish and reliability improvements across comment search, template settings, and the report viewer.

This release is a focused quality pass — especially for teams with large comment libraries who search by shorthand or section abbreviations during inspections.

iPhone HEIC photos in PDF reports, plus a round of reliability fixes

Version 1.9.0 makes iPhone photos a first-class citizen in PDF reports and ships a broad set of behind-the-scenes reliability and security improvements so inspections, photos, and notifications keep flowing on big jobs.

Added

• iPhone (HEIC/HEIF) Photo Support in PDF Reports — Photos taken in Apple's default HEIC/HEIF format on modern iPhones are now automatically converted to JPEG when the PDF report is generated, so iPhone-shot photos render correctly in the final report instead of appearing missing or broken.

Fixed

• More reliable photo pipeline — Strengthened the upload-to-PDF photo pipeline so iPhone photos and large image batches process more consistently end-to-end.
• Steadier audio uploads and transcription — Audio recordings handle slow or congested connections more gracefully, and failed transcription state is now preserved so retries pick up cleanly instead of silently dropping work.
• Smarter customer enrichment on appointments — Appointments now resolve every linked customer even on busy days, instead of cutting off after a fixed limit.
• Sturdier Square integrations — Square sign-in and bookings recover faster when tokens expire, with safer error handling so a single bad token no longer stalls the integration.
• Polish and reliability improvements across the inspection editor, PDF generation, notifications, and Google Drive media imports.

This release is mostly a quality and trust pass — iPhone photos that "just work" in PDFs, plus the kind of fixes you don't notice because nothing breaks.

---

Report Sections, Left TOC, and Richer Media

Version 1.8.0 makes long reports easier to navigate and longer templates easier to author. Report Sections group related categories for screen and print, a left-hand table of contents reshapes the web report editor, and inspectors get drag-and-drop reordering across photos and videos — plus a new Marine Pre-Purchase Condition & Value prebuilt.

Added

• Report Sections — An optional grouping above categories that organises related categories under a shared title for both on-screen reporting and the printed PDF. Enabled from Template Settings and authored in the main template editor; web supports drag-and-drop to reorder sections and move categories between them, and mobile offers the same model with containers, an Add section action, and a per-category picker with move arrows. Section titles also appear in completion, preview, and the table of contents.

• Left Table of Contents on web — Report completion now uses a left-hand table of contents modeled on Preview, with a dockable layout on desktop. In very large reports, jumping via the TOC scrolls straight to the target and expands only that category instead of cascading through everything in between.

• Reorder Photos and Videos by Drag-and-Drop — Inspectors can rearrange photos and videos within a media grid and drag them between grids on web. Mixed photo and video order is preserved, the custom order is honored in the on-screen report and the generated PDF, and drag is disabled on read-only views and while uploads are still in progress.

• Videos on Questions and Required Notes — Videos can now be attached to question- and required-note-level grids in addition to observations, subcategories, and cover pages, and flow through to the generated report and read-only viewer in the right place.

• Web Camera Digital Zoom — The in-app web camera supports always-available digital zoom for photo capture, with a quality warning at higher zoom levels. Zoom controls are hidden during video recording.

• Full-Screen Web Photo Camera — The web camera for photo capture now opens as a full-screen experience instead of nested inside a category card.

• Required Notes — Add Note path — Template authors can allow an Add Note action on a required-note group so inspectors can search the library or create a new note inline and still satisfy the requirement.

• Required Notes — Text type — A new required-note variant blocks subcategory progress until the inspector writes a free-text note, complementing the existing pick-from-list modes.

• Note — Hide Title option — Library notes can now carry an optional Hide Title setting that suppresses the title in both the on-screen report and the generated PDF (default off).

• Marine Pre-Purchase Condition & Value prebuilt — A new marine prebuilt built around Report Sections, with narrative-heavy areas modeled as required-notes groups that allow the Add Note path, and a companion notes spreadsheet organisations can bulk-import into their comments library for ready-to-use marine language. Changed

• Smarter Observation Summarize — Summarize now auto-saves the observation and its linked media before running, and exits immediately when there is nothing meaningful to summarise. The same action is now exposed on mobile with matching behavior.

• Polished summary wording — Observation Summarize output now reads as finished report prose: impersonal, present-tense, industry-aware, and written in the voice of the active template so marine summaries read like a marine surveyor and residential summaries read like a home inspector.

• Section-aware table of contents — The table of contents on web now navigates to Report Sections as well as categories and subcategories, in both the completion flow and the template editor.

• Responsive template editor — Adding or removing sections, categories, and subcategories now shows a clear busy state while the change is saving, and newly added sections or categories scroll into view right above the add controls on both web and mobile.

• Mobile section moves — The mobile template editor now lets authors move a category across section boundaries with up/down arrows, place a category into an empty section, and offers section-header options for Move Section Up, Move Section Down, and Remove Section.

• More reliable notes in the PDF — Required-notes blocks, manually selected notes, and note-type answers now render more reliably in the generated report PDF.

• Section-aware bulk comment import — Bulk comment import into templates that use Report Sections now shows destinations as Section — Category in the picker so the target is unambiguous, and makes the end-to-end routing of each imported row more reliable.

• Faster prebuilt template browsing — The prebuilt template library now loads lightweight previews in the catalog and fetches the full template only when one is selected.

• Smarter AI assistants — The Template AI assistant and the Comments AI assistant now stay better aligned with the options your template actually supports, including locked-template rules, so suggestions are easier to accept without cleanup.

• TREC PDF photo coverage — TREC PDF reports now render every photo attached to a subcategory or observation (not just the first), with a touch more spacing above the observation title so dense grouped content stays readable.

Fixed

• Polish and reliability improvements across the report editor, template editor, media grids, PDF output, and customer portal.

This release focuses on structure, navigation, and polish — making long reports easier to compose and read, and longer templates easier to maintain.

Marine Surveys, Inline Notes, and Smarter Templates

Version 1.7.0 expands SwiftReporter beyond home inspections with full Marine Survey support, adds inline notes and per-question photos to templates, and rebuilds the bulk comment import wizard around AI-assisted review.

Added

• Marine Surveys - A new industry vertical for marine surveyors. Set a template's industry to Marine Survey to get marine-aware AI prompts (defect identification, category assignment, comment matching, and the AI Template Wizard), a Marine Survey option in the AI Wizard inspection-type picker, and a Vessel Identifier field that replaces the property address on the PDF cover bar and running header on marine inspections.
• Default Industry Preference - Account settings now include a Default Industry option (Home Inspection or Marine Survey) that pre-selects the industry for new templates and the AI Template Wizard.
• Inline Notes in Templates - A new Note question type adds static guidance text - instructions, warnings, or context - inline with questions in the report, with no answer field.
• Photos on Questions and Notes - An Allow photos toggle on individual template questions and inline notes lets inspectors attach photos directly under that specific question or note, in addition to the existing observation and subcategory photo grids.
• Smart Bulk Comment Import - The Import Comments wizard now opens with an AI-powered upload summary, routes correctable rows through a guided Fix Issues step, and groups category and subcategory mismatches so AI suggestions and manual picks are made once per unique value instead of row-by-row.

Changed

• AI quality and reliability - AI summarisation, photo analysis, comment-library matching, AI Comment Agent, AI Template Wizard, and Google Drive media processing have been overhauled for better accuracy on large jobs.
• Smoother comment search load-more - Comment search now uses a unified multi-scope pagination cursor so paging across personal, team, and template-scoped comments is more consistent.
• Faster team-shared access - Team-shared comments and audio recordings now resolve permissions via their own team-id for faster access, with a fallback that still authorises older records.
• Cleaner template editors - Template editors hide the new Note option and per-item Allow photos controls in form-PDF and locked templates where they don't apply.

Fixed

• Bulk comment import duplicates - Fixed a duplicate-detection bug where some existing comments were re-imported (originally patched in 1.6.1).
• Subcategory photo leak - Subcategory photos no longer leak between subcategories in certain inspection views.

This release focuses on broadening industry reach with marine surveys while making templates richer and bulk comment imports significantly easier to manage.

---

Forms, Signatures, and Inspection Flow

Version 1.5.0 brings forms, signatures, and contact-driven workflows closer together so more of the job can be handled from the inspection itself.

Added

• Form PDF templates - Upload blank form PDFs to a template, place answers, checkmarks, shapes, signatures, initials, and date fields, then attach those completed supplemental forms to individual inspections.
• Inline inspection signing - Inspectors can now sign and download or sign and share directly from the inspection page, while portal viewers get dedicated signing and signed-PDF download actions.
• Improved contract sending tools - Contract cards now support template-based sending, contact-role recipient selection, resend actions, and edit-and-resend flows while preserving previous contract history.

Changed

• More connected inspection workflows - Shared-report and inspection flows now tie contacts, contracts, forms, and signed PDFs together more directly in a single job process.
• Safer legacy contact conversion - Converting older client records into contacts now helps users correct invalid phone numbers before saving.

This release focuses on reducing handoffs between tools so inspection teams can manage related documents and signatures with less friction.

---

Faster Access Across Jobs and Reports

Version 1.5.1 improves day-to-day speed across inspection work while adding invoice management on mobile for teams handling billing away from a desk.

Added

• Mobile invoices dashboard - Back of House users can now open Invoices on mobile to review unpaid balances, search invoice history, and create or manage invoices once Stripe Connect is configured on the web.

Changed

• Faster loading across major screens - Inspection, report, photo, comment, template, and shared-inspection screens now load more efficiently on both web and mobile, especially for larger jobs and longer reports.
• Smarter signed PDF downloads - Report download flows now prefer the latest signed PDF when one is available, while still falling back to the standard generated report when needed.

Fixed

• Tighter unpaid report preview rules - Main-report PDF previews now stay more reliably in preview mode for unpaid free downloads while preserving the expected behavior for paid, signed, and form-PDF outputs.
• More reliable viewer signing resolution - Viewer signing and signed-PDF downloads now resolve against the correct authorized signing record more consistently.

This release focuses on responsiveness and reliability, helping teams move faster while keeping signing and download behavior predictable.

---

Version 1.6.0 brings full video support to Swift Reporter. Inspectors can now record, edit, and share videos alongside photos throughout the entire inspection workflow — from capture to report delivery.

Added

• Video Support — Add videos to observations, subcategories, and cover pages alongside photos. Videos appear in the media grid with thumbnail previews and a play overlay.
• Video Capture — Record video directly from the camera on both mobile and web with a tap-to-record interface, countdown timer, and a 60-second maximum duration.
• Video Trimming and Editing — Trim videos to the desired length, set a custom thumbnail frame, and add a title before or after uploading.
• Videos in Reports and Portal — Videos play inline in the digital report and customer portal with adaptive streaming. PDF reports include video thumbnails that link directly to the portal for playback.
• Video Storage Dashboard — A new storage card in account settings shows how much video storage is used and available on your plan.

Changed

• The photo grid now displays both photos and videos in a unified, sorted view.
• All subscription tiers include video storage — Free gets 10 GB, Basic and Pro get 50 GB, and Teams get 50 GB per seat in a shared pool.

For the best results, tell it exactly what you want.

The Template Agent is a new sidebar in the template edit screen. You can ask this agent anything about templates, and it can make any change to a template that you can. You can ask it to do anything from writing questions and answers, to changing formatting and ordering. You review the changes it suggests before they are saved, so you stay in control.
