The difference
Typing up notes and mapping them into sections takes around four hours on a typical Level 3 survey. Draft-from-Notes brings that down to about twenty minutes of checking.

How it works
It fits the way you already work — no special kit and no new habits on site.
Dictate into any phone app. Upload the audio, a .txt or .docx transcript, or paste raw text.
Read and correct the transcription first. Nothing is drafted until you’re happy with it.
Every passage is routed to its RICS section, written up and given a condition rating.
Clear the flagged passages, edit each section and tick it as reviewed by you.
What's included
Rambling, out-of-order and full of asides — it’s designed for real site notes, not tidy scripts.
Each observation lands in the correct RICS Level 2, Level 3 or Building Survey section — no manual sorting.
Findings you’ve tied to a room or elevation are grouped together, so sections read naturally.
A rating is suggested for each finding and the worst one carries to the section. Any rating you set yourself always wins.
Passages that can’t be placed confidently appear in an amber ‘needs your attention’ banner at the top of the report.
Open the dictation behind any drafted section, so you can check exactly what you said.
Missed something? Dictate again for a single section without touching the rest of the report.
Good to know
Every AI-drafted section is labelled as such until you tick it reviewed, and your own condition ratings are never overwritten.
RICS Home Survey Level 2, RICS Building Survey Level 3 and the platform’s Building Survey report.
Yes. Upload the audio file, or bring an existing transcript as a .txt or .docx file, or paste the text in.
That’s expected. Observations are routed by what they describe, not the order you said them. Anything ambiguous is flagged for you.
No. Suggested ratings are only applied where you haven’t set one. Your ratings are always authoritative.
