Simple Capture
vs Raken
Raken is how many contractors run daily reports, time and safety across crews. Simple Capture does one thing from that list differently: it writes the daily log from a narrated video walk.
At a glance
| Question | Raken | Simple Capture |
|---|---|---|
| Getting things in | Superintendents fill in daily report forms with photos, crews, weather and notes. | Film a video, record a voice memo or snap photos. Items, text and your spoken notes come out of it. |
| What comes back | Daily reports, time cards, safety talks and production data. | A story of the walk, scenes by area, the labels it read, your narration, and a report page you can share. |
| Sharing | Across the company and with owners. | Ask for a page and share a private link. Whoever opens it can ask the page questions. |
| Asking questions | Search and filters over what you entered. | Hold the red button and talk. The assistant knows every capture and answers out loud. |
