Why scan text in inspections?
We understand that data entry can be a big part of inspections, from entering serial numbers to recording system readings. We also understand that manual data entry can be time-consuming and is prone to human error. With SafetyCulture, you can capture lines of text as responses simply by scanning them with your device's camera.
