You don’t get paid for the work you did, you get paid for the work you documented

The smartest way to document a loss

Encircle is the go-to app for restoration job documentation. Now enhanced with Encircle AI, 
it gives your team even more tools to capture job details to save even more time in the field.

Capture the full story with photos, videos, and 360° images—automatically organized and labeled for you.

Encircle AI transcribes, summarizes, and translates video narration so nothing gets missed. It even translates Spanish or French audio into English text, so your crew can work in their native language.

Encircle AI cleans up spelling, grammar, and tone instantly, turning shorthand into professional, client-ready updates. Notes can also be translated between languages, so everyone stays aligned—no matter who’s on the job.

No more juggling apps in the field. Photos, videos, notes, moisture readings, and floor plans all live in one secure platform—updated instantly so teams can work from the same information at the same time.

More than just a photo app

Photos are evidence, but they aren’t the full scope
Don’t let your documentation live on an island

General-purpose photos apps are great for marketing galleries, but they lack the restoration-specific data you need to get paid. Encircle connects your images to moisture readings, floor plans, and AI-generated scopes, turning simple photos into fully defensible job files.

360° cameras are powerful, but they are just one part of the story. Encircle brings your 360s, standard photos, video walkthroughs, field notes, and more together in one place, so you can fully document the loss without paying for a separate app.

Built for the field and trusted by everyone

Field techs

Capture more by doing less. Field technicians shouldn’t have to be professional writers. With Encircle, they can put down the keyboard and simply narrate what they see while recording a video. Encircle AI handles the heavy lifting – transcribing their voice and summarizing the loss details.

The result? Techs finish documentation faster and get home sooner.

Multi-lingual crew

Remove the language barrier. Great restoration talent speaks many languages, but your reports need to be in English. Whether your team speaks Spanish, French or English, Encircle acts as the universal translator. A tech speaks Spanish into the app, and the PM reads an English summary in the office.

The result? No miscommunication, no delays, and a wider labor pool to draw from.

Project manager

Manage the loss without the drive. Stop driving from site to site just to verify scope. With real-time syncing and visual summaries, you can see the exact condition of a property the moment your team captures it.

The result? Manage more jobs with less windshield time and have total confidence in your documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Encircle is the leading field documentation app specifically built for restoration contractors. Unlike general photo apps, Encircle captures the full scope of a loss—including photos, videos, 360° images, notes, moisture readings, and floor plans—all in one place to create a defensible job file that ensures you get paid in full.

Encircle AI streamlines documentation by automatically summarizing narrated videos and polishing rough field notes. It cleans up grammar, translates notes between languages (like Spanish or French to English), and turns shorthand into professional, client-ready updates, so technicians spend less time typing and more time working.

Yes. Encircle is designed for the challenging environments restorers face. The app works fully offline, allowing your team to capture photos, videos, and notes without an internet connection. Once the device returns to a Wi-Fi or cellular area, all data automatically syncs to the cloud without any manual re-entry.

Encircle AI listens to the audio track of your room walkthrough videos to generate instant transcripts and structured summaries. This allows field techs to simply narrate what they see. The AI then organizes those details into a professional summary, eliminating the need for manual data entry back at the office.

Absolutely. Encircle acts as a universal translator for your team. Field technicians can record videos or write notes in their native language, such as Spanish or French, and Encircle AI will automatically translate and summarize that information into English.

While general photo apps are great for galleries, Encircle is built for the restoration workflow. Encircle goes beyond photos by connecting your visual evidence to moisture logs, floor plans, and AI-generated scopes. This creates a complete, professional report that justifies your invoice and eliminates pushback from adjusters.

Encircle supports real-time collaboration. Multiple technicians can document different rooms of a loss simultaneously using their own devices. Meanwhile, project managers or office admins can view the updates instantly from the office, reducing "windshield time" and allowing for faster job oversight.

Yes. With an integration with Ricoh Theta cameras, Encircle includes 360° imaging capabilities alongside standard photos and videos. By using Encircle for your 360° photos, you keep all your documentation in one secure platform rather than paying for a separate solution, making it easier to organize and share the full story of the loss.
