I know this topic has been covered many times but every time I look it up I find dated information. Of course I'm usually looking it up late at night and after being frustrated at my current software! I wouldn't doubt it if my keywords are not getting me to the most recent posts.
I am am wondering what Inspection Software Texas Inspectors use? And any recommendations for simple software to be used on a tablet/pc setup with Windows7 would be great.
I have been using AHIT's Texas Report Pro for the past few years and constantly find myself frustrated with it for several reasons. (too many to list. I'll save the ranting)
The latest being that when I called them about updating there software for the new Texas report form, I was told to go to the TREC site and download it myself.
This would be fine if I could manipulate the "buttons" or "controls" within their software to match the new form. I know how to update the template just not the software.
I am so frustrated with them, their software, and the fact that we have to pay for support every year but hate that the best way is to jump ship and pay another $500 (or so) for another software.
On this site I hear great things about Homeguage but wonder if its their members marketing their product and how their Texas version matches up.
Then of course I hear many great things about Whisper but only ever see it in checklist form. I prefer narrative reports. Any negatives to Whisper?
