Enterprise Digital Writing Technology

Enterprise digital writing converts handwritten paper forms and documents to electronic data and digital images. Handwriting is captured through the use of digital pen and paper technology. The paper has a microscopic pattern of dots printed on each page that are used by the digital pen to track its movement across the page. The pen orients itself by recording the coordinates of the handwritten strokes on the dot pattern, with a digital camera, as it writes. The pattern of dots is unique on each page allowing the pen to recognize different documents. The handwritten strokes are then stored within the pen’s memory until they are routed to the enterprise digital writing server. This routing occurs by placing the digital pen in a cradle attached to a network-connected PC, or by triggering a wireless transmission through a Bluetooth^®-enabled mobile communication device.

After routing, the server interprets the handwriting, converting it to digital text. User interface tools are provided for efficiently validating the machine’s interpretation. An image of the handwritten form is generated in one of many industry standard formats, while the interpreted data is returned in XML format. The data is then ready for integration with systems across the enterprise.

Digital pens capture handwritten information	Handwriting is securely routed via mobile devices and PCs to the EDW® Server	EDW® Server converts the handwriting to digital data and generates images Data is output as XML and image files	EDW® SDK  (Software Developer Kit) with extensive APIs enables straightforward integration with downstream applications
