Information from AI glasses typically flows into a home inspection report through a combination of hardware (the glasses), a mobile/edge app, cloud services, and your reporting software.[1][2][3]

Core data capture on the glasses

  • The glasses record video, capture still photos, and stream audio as you walk the property.[4][5][1]
  • Voice commands and speech‑to‑text let you dictate observations (e.g., “Cracked tile at master shower floor”) instead of typing.[2][3]
  • On‑device or nearby AI can flag defects in real time (cracks, missing shingles, staining) and tag them in the video or images.[6][3][1]

Transfer from glasses to the system

  • The glasses stay connected (Wi‑Fi or cellular via phone/hotspot) to a companion app or cloud platform that receives the video, photos, and transcripts as you inspect.[7][8][1]
  • Each piece of data is time‑stamped and linked to the property/job record in that platform, so your whole walk‑through becomes a structured dataset instead of loose media.[5][2][7]

AI processing and structuring

  • Cloud AI services analyze the stream: detect defects in images, convert speech to text, and use NLP to slot your spoken comments into fields like “Location,” “System,” “Defect,” and “Recommendation.”[3][1][6]
  • Rules engines then score severity/risk, count instances (e.g., number of cracked tiles), and group findings by system/area (roof, exterior, interior, etc.).[1][3]

Pushing into a “report”

Two main patterns:

  1. Standalone AI report platform
    • The smart‑glasses platform itself generates a PDF/HTML inspection report with sections, photos, annotations, severity/risk scores, and sometimes a link to the full video.[2][3][1]
    • You then export/download that report or its data (PDF, JSON, CSV, API) into your normal workflow, or attach it as supporting documentation.[7][2]
  2. Integration with inspection software
    • The platform exposes an API or export that your inspection software (Spectora/HIP/ScribeWare/etc.) can consume. The mapped fields (location, defect summary, photos) are inserted into the appropriate sections of your template.[8][2][7]
    • In a tighter integration, starting a “job” in your inspection software also starts the smart‑glasses session, and when you finish, the structured findings appear directly in the report draft for you to review and edit.[3][7]

What the inspector still does

  • You confirm or edit each AI‑created observation, add context, and decide what makes the final client‑facing narrative.[6][4]
  • You can still manually add items that AI misses or that are more judgment‑based (maintenance comments, client‑specific notes).[4][6]

One concrete example: a system like Coforge’s uses Vuzix glasses plus an Android app; your speech and the camera feed are streamed to their cloud, AI detects damage and transcribes comments, then their engine generates a property inspection PDF with itemized descriptions, photos, severity, and risk scores, which can then be sent to underwriters or pulled into other systems.[1][3]
