Why the Annotation Camera?

Available on Google play

Faster

The annotation camera integrates with your existing software giving you the ability to add annotations on the fly without having to add them later after the job is complete.

Improve Communication

Make your point clear and concise with every picture you take.  Limit the number of call backs and explanations after the quote or job.  A picture with great annotations tells the whole story and makes you look like a pro!

Reduce Liability

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but a picture with great annotations takes it to the next level.  Proper image documentation is key to accurate reporting.  Don’t leave your pictures to your client’s interpretation!  Make your point crystal clear through annotations.

Improve your overall presentation.  Your reports and pictures sell the job and earn you repeat business.  Your pictures should be the best you can make them.  The Annotation Camera makes that possible.

Features

The annotation camera was designed with inspection and engineering fields in mind but is a great tool for anyone interested in a camera with easy to use annotation tools.

TEXT

  • The text tool allows for annotations directly onto the photo in a variety of colors and opacity.
  • The camera has a memory of 250 comments designed for those fields where common recurring text is necessary. This saves the operator time and improves accuracy.
  • The top seven comments are displayed in a drop down and the remaining comments are auto complete when entering the first couple of letters in the text.
  • All text is re-sizable and easily selected and moved on the picture for optimum placement.

ARROWS

  • Arrows are easily created by dragging your finger across the screen in the direction you wish the arrow to point.
  • Arrows are re-sizable and can be re-positioned on the picture.

CIRCLES

  • The circle tool creates ovals and / or circles by diagonal finger dragging on the screen.
  • All circles can be re-sized and re-positioned on the photo.

SQUARES

  • The square tool creates squares or rectangles by diagonal finger dragging on the screen.
  • All squares can be re-sized and re-positioned on the photos.

ON-SCREEN CONTROLS

  • On screen controls have been simplified to ensure the photos can be taken quickly and efficiently. Controls include on screen resolution control and a flash toggle which lets the user toggle through flash on / off / auto.

DROPBOX INTEGRATION

  • The annotation camera is integrated with Dropbox. A dropbox folder can be created or selected through the annotation camera as a default folder for a copy of the annotated picture.

ZOOM AND CROP FEATURE

  • There is a zoom and crop feature allowing for the user to import photos from other sources such as a drone and zoom and crop the image on your device.  Images can be cropped to any size or aspect ratio desired.

IMPORT FEATURE

  • Photos can be imported from other sources using the import feature.

DATE, TIME AND GPS STAMPED

  • Each photo is date and time stamped to provide a record for the user.  The date and time stamp can be turned on or off in the settings.
  • Each photo can be stamped with the GPS location of the image in the upper left corner.  The GPS location can be turned on or off in the settings.

ABILITY TO SAVE LOCATION

  • The user has the ability to choose a save location on the phone to customize for specific jobs or uses.
  • A raw image can be saved in addition to the annotated image as a backup photo.  This allows for editing later if necessary.
  • All annotations can be discarded one at a time or all at once using the trash can at the lower right corner of the screen. Simply select an annotation such as an arrow and drag the arrow to the trashcan. If you prefer to delete all annotations on a picture without discarding the picture, simply hold the trash can button for three seconds and all annotations on the screen will be discarded.
  • Orientation of the photo can be rotated at any time during the edit process.
  • Tap to focus on the screen.

A special note to home inspection users. This camera has been designed to work with the 3D Inspections phone app as well as most other inspection software apps. Once the Annotation Camera is selected as the default camera you will not need to exit the inspection software app to draw your annotations and then add the image back to the inspection in progress. Instead, the inspection app will automatically launch the annotation camera and annotations can be made as you take the picture. The saved picture will automatically be input into the inspection phone app saving you time and effort.

The uses are limitless when it comes to improving
the quality of your quotes and reports.

This camera has taken at least a half an hour off of every inspection. It's actually fun to use. I couldn't be happier! I highly recommend it!

I love this app for use with 3D inspection software. It has cut down the time in the office reviewing photos and adding comments by at least 1/2 hour per inspection. Worth every penny.

Great app, it does exactly what it says it will. Finally, something I can quickly markup up photos directly from my phone without having to pull out my laptop. Very helpful when viewing a home for a non-present client and I want to call out features in the pictures I send. Love that it saves to my Dropbox, where I save everything already! And love that it saves my previous text comments, a real time saver.”

I have been using this app for a while now and love it! I am sooooo happy that there is finally an app that will work with 3D. It cuts at least 15 minutes off of my inspections since I can mark the photos right away! It is fast and simple to use and I would recommend this app tp anyone who wants to annotate photos. Great job and thank you for coming up with this great app!
