That’s right — AI has officially landed in InspectX. We know this concept can stir up a mix of excitement, skepticism, and maybe even a little eye-roll from the seasoned surveyors out there. But here’s the thing: we didn’t add AI just because it’s trendy. We added it because it actually solves real problems for real surveyors, especially when...

Starting June 1st, the purchase price per InspectX report will increase from $39 to $42 (USD). This is the first price adjustment we’ve made since InspectX launched in 2016. Over the past nine years, we’ve proudly kept our pricing consistent—even as the U.S. dollar has experienced an average inflation rate of 3.42% per year, resulting in...

Thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by our table, ask questions and take a deeper look. If there was one consistent theme, it was that we could show a...

InspectX has always had a professional appeal to its auto-generated cover and title pages. The idea of simply adding the basic details and having these pages automatically load content is convenient, but it causes inherent limitations when customizing the content. In the pursuit of a balance, we have created a method that can still utilize the...

InspectX has been specifically and purposefully designed for use with tablets and touch devices in order to complete your survey report while in the field. InspectX replaces handwritten field notes with an easy to use interface so there is no need to transcribe your notes at home.
We don't believe that software should dictate the order in which you complete your survey.
One of the most challenging aspects when completing your report in the field is navigating the software interface. The linear entry approach taken by all other report software is designed for completion behind a desk, while InspectX uses a different approach. With InspectX, the interface allows seamless and fast navigation between any category or heading which gives you full control to survey naturally and efficiently in any order you choose.
Visualize Your Progress
Colored buttons quickly identify which items are not yet started, in progress, or completed. At a simple glance, you'll know exactly what is left to complete and never risk missing an item again.

Work on the same report at the same time.
The benefits of more than one surveyor collaborating on a single report at the same time is immediately apparent to those surveyors that work together on large assignments.
Whether this is used to spread the load on large vessels or as an apprentice training tool, InspectX opens a world of opportunities to not only improve your report but also enhance your survey process.
Multi-Person Collaboration
Over 21,000 Quick Insert Options already included.
Built-in Phrases
/inspectx/images/tablet_blank-ID-fdf86120-d38d-4111-d199-6d72335a79d7.png){kind=spacer}
Included with the installation of InspectX is a very large database of Categories, Sub-Categories and Headings, all of which include many Quick Insert Options.
"There is no way to describe the satisfaction that comes with knowing that with each completed heading your report is one step closer to being ready for publishing."
These pre-installed Quick Insert Options are yours to customize and tailor to your specific types of surveys. The more you customize this content the faster you'll become in the field. Very soon, you'll find that locating and entering your own phrases will become faster than taking handwritten notes with a notepad.
In addition to phrases located at almost every heading, you'll find a very large collection of common findings and recommendations statements. Each of these deficiencies or 'Findings' can be prioritized by safety (A, B, or C) according to common Survey practice. See the article by BoatUS for more information on this priority selection HERE.
InspectX seamlessly integrates with your tablet's virtual keyboard, virtual handwriting panel, and even your favorite voice recognition software to quickly and easily enter or modify item details.
