Field Inspection Reports — From Site to Client in One App
Every field inspection has the same challenge: you're on site with limited time, you need to document everything accurately, and later you have to turn all that raw material into a clear report that someone else can understand.
Here's how to handle the entire workflow — from arriving on site to delivering the final report — using SceneBox on your iPhone.
📸 Capture Everything at Once
When you arrive on site, the first instinct is to start taking photos. But photos alone don't tell the full story. SceneBox lets you build a single inspection record that combines:
- Written notes — Describe what you're seeing while it's fresh
- Photos — Capture visual evidence from multiple angles
- Video — Record walkthroughs or close-ups of specific components
- Audio notes — Dictate observations hands-free while you work
- Location — Mark exactly where each observation was made
Everything stays together in one place. No more juggling between the camera app, voice memos, a notes app, and email drafts.
🔍 Highlight Issues with Photo Annotations
A photo of a cracked pipe or a misaligned fitting is useful. A photo with a clear arrow pointing to the exact problem is better.
SceneBox lets you add annotations directly on your photos:
- Draw arrows to point at specific defects or areas of concern
- Add text labels to describe what's shown
- Adjust position, size, rotation, and color so annotations are clear and readable
- The original photo is always preserved underneath
This is especially valuable when the recipient isn't familiar with the site. A single annotated photo can convey what paragraphs of text might struggle to explain.
⏱️ Mark Key Moments in Video and Audio
Long video walkthroughs and audio recordings contain critical information — but finding the right moment later is tedious.
SceneBox lets you add events at specific timestamps in your recordings. When you hear an unusual noise or see something important on video, tap to mark that moment and add a note. When reviewing later, jump directly to each marked timestamp instead of scrubbing through the entire file.
📄 Generate a Structured Report in EPUB or PDF
After collecting all the evidence, SceneBox organizes everything into a fixed-layout report. You can choose between two formats:
- EPUB 3 — A structured digital report that works with Apple Books and standard EPUB readers. Audio and video are embedded for inline playback. An open-source web reader is also available at https://yjyinfo.github.io/scenebox-reader/.
- PDF — A universal format readable on any device, suitable for archiving or printing.
Both formats maintain a fixed page layout so the report looks the same regardless of how it's viewed.
📤 Share Directly from Your iPhone
Once the report is ready, share it using the iOS system share sheet. Send via:
- Email to clients or colleagues
- Messaging apps like WhatsApp or WeChat
- AirDrop to a nearby device
- Save to Files or cloud storage
The recipient doesn't need SceneBox or any special software — just a standard EPUB reader or PDF viewer.
🌐 Works Offline, No Account Required
Field inspection sites are often in basements, parking garages, industrial facilities, or remote locations with limited connectivity. SceneBox works entirely offline. There's no account registration required, no sign-in process. Open the app and start documenting immediately.
✍️ AI Writing Assistance
When you need to write follow-up notes, SceneBox offers AI-powered writing assistance:
- Polish your notes — Ask AI to refine your descriptions for clarity and professionalism
- Draft from prompts — Describe what happened in simple terms, and AI helps turn it into structured text
- You stay in control — AI never adds factual information about the scene. You review and approve every change.
