Why ScribeWare Shines for Multi-Inspector Firms
ScribeWare allows multi-inspector firms to create standout reports, fast (up to 90 minutes saved per report fast!). In a business where time is literally money, and high-quality, consistent reports are your best marketing tool, there’s no better way to grow your bottom line.
Built for teamwork
Just turn your team loose on a large project; all the data will sync together seamlessly into one easy-to-read report. With Wi-Fi or a decent cell connection, it will sync in real time. With poor or no service, just turn syncing off and have everything knit together automatically when you return to the office.
Required items review
Our required fields feature and flagging functionality allows you to set specific data that each inspector needs to gather while on site. This helps you ensure consistent quality. Comments can also be flagged for review by senior staff, and senior staff can see if required fields require review with just a quick glance.
Template and library syncing
When an admin saves a template or library change, that change becomes instantly available across your whole team. This feature makes template updating a breeze—and ensures the consistency and quality of every report.
Unlimited customization
With ScribeWare, you have unlimited modifier, boilerplate, and summary page customization, so your reports are in your language. But that’s just the beginning! We also offer custom CSS to change the overall look of your HTML reports, and support custom URLs so your reports look like they come from your own email server.
If this, then that functionality
Built to make accurate and consistent report-writing fast, ScribeWare has built-in functionality that allows you to set pre-written narratives so they automatically populate when a box is checked. This ensures that even new hires can produce a report that meets your standards.
The Power of Focused Innovation
In an industry that’s increasingly crowded with all-in-one software solutions, the temptation to do everything can be strong. But we’ve stayed true to our belief that the best way to serve inspectors is by delivering a powerful, easy-to-use, and customizable report writer—one that supports the needs of multi-inspection firms and produces the highest-quality reports on the market. This focus has resulted in industry-leading innovation.

Some sample home inspection reports:
don’t just take our word for it.
ScribeWare Narrative Template
Built by ScribeWare founder and long-time inspector Dylan Chalk, this is a longer narrative-style report. It uses bulleted observations to handle multiple defects with the same system, and smaller comments for simple systems. Note the use of the all-caps blue titles to make the summary page easy to glance through. This template can be used for almost any job, from consults to commercial inspections, and is included with ScribeWare for those who want a detailed northern climate zone template.
ScribeWare Standard Photo Captions Workflow Template
This report by Scriber Mike Lagana shows a warm climate zone sample that has been customized from the ScribeWare default template designed around a photo caption-driven workflow. The idea is to boil your workflow down to clicking boxes to describe a building, and taking pictures and captioning them for your narrative comments. This template shows how quickly one can move over to ScribeWare using this template.
ScribeWare Standard Checkbox Template
This is based on a checkbox template but includes short narratives. This will work in any climate zone, and we offer a room-by-room or system-by-system version. It’s the quickest and easiest template to get started with.
“I have used just about every inspection software on the market, but I’m now a Scriber for life. It’s the best report tool on the market, and it integrates really well with ISN for scheduling. I’m so grateful for Scribeware. Our team has their nights back!”
“I was using Spectora and switched a couple of months ago. I use an iPhone 15 Pro. I love Scribeware, works great and very customizable…I had templates imported and modified them to take advantage of the Scribware features. In Spectora, they looked good, in ScribeWare, they look great. I get a lot of compliments on my reports. My repeat agents love the new look of my reports and love the additional information in the reports that you can program into your template. I love the software, and I love how I can customize it. My clients love the layout. Hands down, no other software can compare to it.”
“I just had the 7th inspection in 2022 that specifically hired me because they saw my report from one of the pre-listing inspections I had done, and loved the format so much that they decided to hire me. The business that the amazing ScribeWare reports has brought me has already resulted in a 400% return on my investment. It’s by far the best ROI marketing I’ve ever done! Thank you guys again for making me look so good!”
“As a new inspector who is not very computer savvy, ScribeWare has greatly simplified my reporting process. I spend far less time sitting, staring at the screen than with other software I have tried. ScribeWare is intuitive, time efficient and practical. The tech support is especially quick and responsive. I love how easy it is to customize the library and navigate my reports at breakneck speed. Clients love the easy to read layout, especially the summary section that allows for a concise report view. Keep up the great work, ScribeWare!”
“have been a home inspector for over 19 yrs and have tried just about every program on the market. To my surprise, I just happened to come across ScribeWare and now I can say I have found the answer! The guys at ScribeWare are simply amazing with tech support and they actually do updates by listening to their inspectors! Thanks, Dylan and Steve for doing such a great job and I am happy to say I am NOW a ScribeWare user.”
“Just wanted to pass along some feedback we got from a new agent to us:
I am truly impressed! This is undoubtedly the best inspection report format I’ve encountered. The level of interactivity and detail is remarkable. I especially appreciate the inclusion of the “request for repairs” section, which makes my job so much easier. Thank you once again; I will definitely be using your services in the future and will recommend your company to other agents
I appreciate you all and keep up the great work!“
