How fast is the draft?

The median time from the end of a visit to its PropelMapper draft report is 20 seconds.

The figure comes from the production snapshot dated October 28, 2026. It measures the time from the end of a visit to its draft report across the visits recorded in that dataset. Half of those drafts were ready in that time or less.

Transcription and drafting need a connection. A visit recorded without signal saves on the phone and uploads when you reconnect, and the draft follows once the recordings arrive.

Then you check the draft against the recordings, photos and readings, fix any name, number or unit, add your advice and sign it.

The report workflow also includes author signatures, PDF and DOCX export, sending and recipient acknowledgment. Its activity log follows the captures, every report version and each of those handoffs.

What the draft is built from

PropelMapper writes the draft from everything captured on the visit: the transcribed voice notes, typed notes, readings and photos. Readings you say out loud land in the visit form, where you confirm or edit each value.

The draft goes into the report template your team set up, with your logo and report language, so the version you review already looks like the one your client gets.

Where the draft shows up

In the web app, Visits has Processing and Ready to sign views. A visit sits in Processing while its draft is being written and moves to Ready to sign when the draft is done. Open a Ready to sign visit to read the draft next to its recordings and photos.

The draft follows your team’s setup. Settings, Reports holds the report templates, and Terms and Metric types hold your vocabulary and reading names, so the draft spells them the way your team does.

What the median means for your day

Because the draft is written while you pack up, the review can happen between stops instead of at the desk that evening. A phone that has not reconnected yet holds the recordings, and the draft starts once they upload.

The time is to a draft, not to a finished report. Checking it, adding your recommendation and signing are your part, and they take as long as the visit needs. A fast draft with a wrong unit is still a wrong report until you fix it.
