Why did saying “cracked” not mark the item damaged?

Only the six condition names count, and only as the first word. A list of synonyms would mark a working fixture damaged just because a note mentions a crack, on the report a deposit deduction is built from. Say “Damaged” first, or tap the condition.

Walking it hands-free

Choose “Walk through” on an inspection that is still open and Seayora shows one item at a time: the room, the item, what to photograph, the conditions as large buttons, and a microphone. Tap Dictate and say the condition first, then what you see — “Damaged. Crack in the tile by the tub.” End with “next” and it moves to the next item on its own.

  • Only the six condition names count, and only as the first word: good, fair, poor, damaged, missing, not applicable. “Cracked tile by the tub” is saved as a note and changes no condition — a list of synonyms would mark a working fixture damaged just for mentioning a crack.
  • Everything else you say is added to the end of that item’s notes, on its own line, exactly as heard. It never replaces what is already there, and a note that would pass 4,000 characters is refused rather than cut short.
  • “Next” or “skip” on its own moves on and saves nothing; “back” on its own returns to the previous item.
  • After every save Seayora shows one sentence saying exactly what it recorded, so a misheard word is caught before the report is completed.
  • An item you walk past is still recorded as not inspected, never as good.
