Digital Writing Server

The ExpeData Enterprise Digital Writing (EDW) server provides the essential functions for digital writing. The EDW server acquires handwriting from the mobile communication device or PC software, interprets the handwriting, offers tools for efficient verification of the interpretation and provides the results as digital output. The EDW server output is made available as XML for the interpreted data, and PDF, TIF, GIF, PNG, or JPG for the page images. The EDW server can integrate with enterprise back-end systems using an extensive set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

Database Server

An included SQL database stores information about users, digital pens, pattern sheets, forms, datatypes, interpretation results, user preferences and other material required by the system.

Handwriting Interpretation

The EDW server interprets the handwriting through the use of market-leading interpretation engines controlled by a proprietary artificial intelligence library. The handwriting engines interpret each field by analyzing the visible writing against a set of predetermined information about the field. This information is supplied by datatypes and lexicons. Datatypes inform the handwriting engines of the designated format applied to a specific field. Examples of this type of information include language, number of characters, letters or numbers, radio buttons, and checkboxes. Lexicons narrow the acceptable information further by providing a list of possible entries such as city names, employee names, and part numbers. The proprietary artificial intelligence library reviews each engine’s interpretation and selects the most accurate interpretation to present to the user. This combination of techniques provides a highly accurate handwriting interpretation.
