Stop writing reports
after the site visit

If your day ends with a report, Sayt is for you. Photograph a finding, measure it with the camera, pin it to the plan — and the PDF or Word document is ready before you leave. No signal, no account, no evening spent typing it all up again.

The report

The report is the job. Sayt does it on site.

The walk is the easy part. The cost is the evening afterwards — matching photos to notes, retyping the same findings, chasing the format your client, your head office or the main contractor expects. Sayt removes that evening.

Everything you record on site is already report-shaped, so generating the document is one screen and one tap. Your name, licence number, company and logo are on it. You can send it before you get back to the car.

  • PDF — ready to send, no formatting needed
  • Word (DOCX) — editable in Word or Pages, for teams whose template must be followed
  • Photos (ZIP) — the original images at full quality
  • Photos, annotations, measurements, plan pins, checklists and issue history all pulled in automatically
  • Preview it before you generate it
Sayt's Generate Report screen: PDF, DOCX and Photos ZIP formats, a report style picker, a branding toggle, and Preview and Generate Report buttons

Six report templates, so the document matches the reader:

Standard

Balanced professional layout — the default.

Executive

Client-facing and polished: larger photos, softer typography, technical detail rows hidden.

Progress

Photo-led progress documentation with minimal text.

Inspection

Leads on issues, follow-ups and before/after evidence.

Minimal

Text-heavy architecture-office style, no accent bars or cards.

Punchlist table

Numbered No. | Name | Description table with embedded photos — matches typical QA/QC and DPWH tabulation.

Sample output

This is what comes out

Not a mockup — this is the preview screen inside the app, showing a real generated report. Page one carries your letterhead, the project details your reader needs to file it, the site conditions you recorded, and your findings numbered in order.

Photos, annotations, measurements and plan pins follow on the pages after it. Nothing here was typed twice: every line came from something you tapped on site.

  • Your company name, logo, licence number and signature block
  • Findings numbered and categorised for you
  • Preview every page before you generate or send it

Measure

Dimensions without a tape

Tap Measure on a finding and point the camera at what you need sized. Set the two ends and Sayt reads the distance off the camera — a ceiling height, a crack, the width of an opening — then writes it onto the finding, as shown here.

Chain several lines around an opening, a floor or a patch of damage. Close the shape and Sayt calculates the enclosed area, so "how much render needs replacing?" is answered on site rather than estimated later.

  • Lengths and enclosed areas, both saved to the finding
  • On iPhones with LiDAR, Sayt ranges against real geometry — noticeably more accurate on irregular surfaces. Without it, it measures against detected planes
  • Metric or imperial, switchable at any time
  • Every measurement carries into the report
  • Type one in by hand when you already know the number

Camera measurements are digital estimates and are marked with . They are accurate enough to size an opening, scope a repair or brief a trade — but they are not survey-grade. Check critical dimensions with a tape before ordering material or cutting anything.

Site plans

Pin the finding to the exact spot

Import the floor plan and tap it to drop a pin where the photo was taken. The reader stops guessing which of four identical units, or which end of a corridor, the crack is in.

Pins are repositionable until you save, so getting it right takes a second. Every pinned plan carries through to the report alongside the photograph and its measurements.

  • Use any plan you can get onto the phone — PDF page or photo
  • One pin per finding, placed by tapping the plan
  • Plan and pin appear in the exported report

Calendar

Every visit, and the next one

The home screen opens on a month calendar marking every day you documented something. Progress on a job stops being a feeling and becomes a record you can show a client — day one against today.

Schedule the next visit while you are still standing on site. One-off, daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly, with a reminder before you are due.

  • Marked days for visits already documented
  • Repeating schedules — daily, weekly, fortnightly or monthly
  • A local reminder before you are due on site
  • Tap any day to see what happened on it

Who it's for

If your day ends with a report, it was built for you

Sayt is not an architect's app that other trades can borrow. You pick your role the first time you open it, and the categories, the report title and the words in the document all change to match the work you actually do and the people who actually read it.

Site & junior engineers

Often the person who has to write the daily report — and the person nobody showed how. Sayt supplies the structure: log what you saw as you see it, and the document assembles itself in a format your senior will sign without sending it back.

Civil & structural engineers

Categories that match the pour, not a generic list: earthworks, drainage, concrete, masonry — or foundation, rebar, formwork, column, beam and slab. Measure a section with the camera and the dimension lands in the report with the photo.

QA / QC checkers

The Punchlist table template gives you the numbered No. | Name | Description tabulation with photos embedded. Photograph the punchlist head office sent and Sayt reads it in — then work each item through open, in progress and verified.

Foremen, supervisors & construction managers

Cross-trade categories in one profile: civil, structural, architectural, electrical, mechanical, plumbing, safety. The Progress template turns a photo walk into weekly documentation with barely any typing.

Inspectors & regulators

Health, sanitary, food safety and fire profiles write violations, not "observations", under the right document title — the register your office and the establishment expect.

Safety officers (OSH)

Log hazards against PPE, fall protection, machine guarding, electrical safety, hazardous materials, housekeeping, signage and emergency response — with the photo attached and a required action recorded.

Architects

Layout, dimensions, finishes, doors and windows, ceilings, waterproofing and workmanship. Pin each observation to the floor plan so the client can see where it is without reading a paragraph.

Property inspectors & adjusters

Damage assessment, cause of loss, water, fire and storm damage — or roof, plumbing, HVAC, interior and exterior. The Inspection template leads on before/after evidence.

Same data, same app — different professional register:

Architectrecords an observation
Health inspectorrecords a violation
Insurance adjusterrecords a finding
Safety officerrecords a hazard

Design & construction profiles:

Architect Project Architect Civil Engineer Structural Engineer Electrical Engineer Mechanical Engineer Sanitary / Plumbing Engineer Contractor Site Supervisor Construction Manager

Inspection & compliance profiles:

Health Inspector Food Safety Officer Sanitary Inspector Fire Marshal / Bureau of Fire Safety Officer (OSH) Property / Rental Inspector Insurance Adjuster Other

Not on the list? Pick the profile closest to your work, or Other — Sayt then takes its wording from the project type instead, so a restaurant still reads as a food safety report. You can change your profile at any time, and it only affects reports you generate afterwards.

And the rest of the walk

Capture

Photograph straight into the visit. Annotate with arrows, boxes and text. A built-in level helps you shoot elevations square.

Observations & issues

Log findings with location, category and priority, and track an issue through to verified.

Checklists

Work through a reusable checklist so nothing on a repeat inspection gets missed.

Reports

Export a PDF or an editable Word document carrying your name, licence number and logo.

Punchlist OCR

Photograph a punchlist your client or head office sent and Sayt reads it into checklist items or issues — no retyping. Numbered, bulleted and tabular lists are all handled, and you confirm each line before it is imported. Runs on-device. Pro.

Handoff

Send a whole visit to a colleague as a single file. It merges into their projects.

Offline, always

No account, no server, no analytics. A basement with no signal is a normal working environment.
