Before you start · Report Reader

Use this when you want a narrow review aid before human checking. Outputs are advisory only and unverified; outputs are not for survey deliverables. Registered surveyor confirmation is required.

Advisory only

Input you have

Use this when you have a .rpt or .txt reduction report, or another plain-text survey report export.

What it helps review

It helps review warnings, errors, misclosure, residual, sigma, status, and summary lines before office review.

What it cannot prove

It cannot prove source observations, project thresholds, coordinate correctness, or professional conclusions.

What to check next

Check parse confidence, skipped lines, vendor-specific blocks, and the original report before sharing any review notes.

Free report reader

Upload a plain-text survey report

Reads .rpt and .txt files, detects UTF-8, UTF-16, or Windows-1252 text, and extracts clearly labelled warning, error, misclosure, residual, and sigma summary lines. It does not parse raw .fld files or certify the report.

Original uploaded files stay unchanged. This summary is indicative only and requires surveyor review.

Before you upload · public beta

Public beta — every output is advisory and UNVERIFIED, not a survey deliverable.
Do not upload confidential or real client data during the beta.
Synthetic or sample data is recommended — load the built-in sample to try it.
No legal or survey-compliance certification is provided.
Your original file is preserved and never modified.

Public beta · advisory demo

See the enriched output on a sample report.

No upload needed — this parses a fixed synthetic report and shows parsed metadata, station setup, control/observations, misclosure & residuals, parse confidence, QA readiness, and advisory warnings. Every result is advisory and unverified; not a survey deliverable.

Final compliance assessment requires a registered Australian surveyor. SurveyMarkup does not determine whether a survey is legally compliant or non-compliant. Engine results are checking aids only; a registered/licensed surveyor must review and sign off before any deliverable, lodgement, or legal/cadastral decision.

Sign-off occurs outside SurveyMarkup. This sheet is a working record of an advisory review session. Professional assessment, certification and lodgement decisions are made by the registered surveyor under the applicable state instrument.

PUBLIC BETA — ADVISORY ONLY. Not for survey deliverables. These files are synthetic — use them to try the tools without uploading real or confidential client data. Every result is advisory and unverified; a registered surveyor must confirm it.

.rptReport Reader — synthetic .rpt
Download
Demonstrates
A full plain-text reduction report with instrument, station, misclosures, residual and control points.
May trigger
Missing face observation, unclear setup method, high residual (UNVERIFIED), pole-height (ADVISORY) and parse-confidence warnings.
Next step
Review the parsed metadata and advisory panels, then export the HTML summary. Nothing here is verified.
.txtReport Reader — synthetic .txt
Download
Demonstrates
A simpler plain-text report with a single caution line and a clean error count.
May trigger
One advisory warning line; low overall warning count.
Next step
Compare the extracted summary lines against the original; treat all output as advisory.

WARN

Review recommended. Warnings or caution lines detected — advisory, needs review.

FAIL

Errors or failed checks detected — advisory, needs review. Manual review required.

The OK / WARN / FAIL status is only a review aid. It does not certify correctness or compliance.

Demo limitations & data safety

This demo parses a synthetic .rpt / .txt report in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Results are advisory and UNVERIFIED — a checking aid, not a conclusion.
Your source / original files are never modified.
Exports are reviewer handoff notes — not survey deliverables.
Registered surveyor confirmation is required before reliance.
During the public beta and pilots, use synthetic or cleared test data only.

Review path · Report Reader

SurveyMarkup is a step in a human-in-the-loop review. Every path stays advisory and unverified and ends with a registered surveyor.

2Review the advisory findings
3Inspect the linked evidence
4Export a review summary
Registered surveyor confirmation required

What to check next

Parse confidence — is it flagged as a partial parse?
Unparsed vendor blocks and any skipped lines
F1 / F2 observation classification
Warning / error / misclosure / residual lines

Use any export as a reviewer handoff note, not a survey deliverable. Outputs remain unverified; registered surveyor confirmation required. Your source / original files are unchanged.

Safety & scope

SurveyMarkup does not certify survey accuracy, cadastral compliance, legal boundaries, or coordinate correctness. It helps prepare and review working information, but original data and final outputs must be checked by a qualified user before use.

Assistance only - professional review remains required.
