You assign every grade
Urgency and severity remain professional judgements. The system records them, never chooses them.
From vessel to finished draftYou survey the vessel.
You survey the vessel.
We write the report.
Your findings, set out in your own structure, voice and boilerplate. You remain the surveyor, the judgement and the author.

Professional judgement stays with you
A writing tool, not a surveyor.
Marine Survey Writer organises and writes up what you observed. It does not add findings, make decisions or grade defects on your behalf.
PRINCIPLE 01
It only says what you said.
Your draft is grounded in your recordings and notes. If you did not record it, it does not appear.

Trace every paragraph
Open the source recording behind generated text and confirm it against your exact words.

UK GDPR aligned

On the boat
Capture the survey while you conduct it.
Keep your attention on the vessel. Record findings naturally, take photographs as you go, or bring handwritten notes into the same workflow.
01 / DICTATE
Speak as you inspect.
Stop and start freely while describing one finding. Pausing never splits it into separate entries.
iPhone · iPad · Android · Web02 / PHOTOGRAPH
Photos know where they belong.
Take photographs while recording and they attach themselves to the finding you are describing. No matching filenames at the desk.
Automatically attached03 / HANDWRITE
Your notepad still works.
Photograph each page and turn it into findings. Crossed-out text is excluded, while numbers and units are confirmed one by one.
Careful transcriptionIf writing runs beyond the photographed edge, the page is flagged for a reshoot instead of guessing what is missing.

Evidence, not a black box
Review the draft against the record.
Every generated paragraph retains a route back to the recording it came from. Review the wording, listen to the source and edit in the way you always have.

Practical questions
Before you bring it aboard.
Does it make professional judgements for me?
No. It does not invent findings or assign grades. It writes up what you record and applies the grading you specify. You review and authorise the finished report.
What happens to my standard wording?
Your boilerplate, conditions of survey and terms are stored verbatim as protected blocks. They are inserted where required and never rewritten by AI.
Can I keep using my own Word layout?
Yes. Provide a blank pro-forma and export the completed draft as a .docx on your own letterhead, with no Marine Survey Writer branding.
Is my data used to train models?
No. Data is encrypted, stored in the EU, never used for model training and can be deleted on demand.
Can I prepare before attending the vessel?
Yes. Request an optional vessel research briefing before you go. It remains a briefing only and never enters the report.
Finish the survey. Leave the first draft to us.
