The Voice Recording feature allows users to leave voice recordings on individual inspection items that can be played back later. This feature allows the inspector to quickly note information about the item. When the inspector is writing the report, they can play back their saved voice recordings to ensure they don't miss any details.  This article will explain how to Record, Playback, and Delete voice recordings in the Desktop Software.
