Bob,

I use a PDA with 3D Report. I don't know if it really saves time, but it is what I do and the finished product looks really good. The time saver comes with using as many standard paragraphs that you can for common situations and "massaging" them to fit the specific need.

I know some inspectors that only make limited notes regarding type, make and things that cannot be photographed, and then take loads of pics to remind them of what they saw. I would think that would save time at the inspection, but increase time writing the report.

Also, I don't always drop the cameras. I might do that once or twice a year. The cameras often just wear out. I figure that I take 25,000 to 30,000 pics each year. That is a lot of work for these little cameras.
