Create a Deficiency List Item with Quick Capture (Android)
Objective
To create deficiency list items using the Quick Deficiency feature on the Procore Android app.
Background
Quick Capture allows you to record short videos of issues on the job site and convert the videos into deficiency items from an iOS device. While recording a video, you can verbally describe what you are seeing and the audio will be transcribed to automatically populate the deficiency item's Title and Description fields. You can also say the name of a trade (that already exists in your Procore account) during the recording and Quick Capture will attempt to populate the deficiency item's Trade field.
Things to Consider
Prerequisites
- Your Android device must be configured to allow the Procore app to access the device's 'Camera', and 'Microphone' features. When you open Quick Capture for the first time, the Procore app will automatically prompt you to allow it to access these features.
Steps
