General Digital Pen & Paper
|
| Q |
Is digital pen and paper technology new? |
| A |
Digital paper technology was developed and
announced by Swedish Company Anoto in 2000. Digital pens were first
released by companies like Logitech, Sony Ericsson, and Nokia starting
in 2001. |
| |
| Q |
How does digital pen and paper compare to competing
technologies? |
| A |
PDA's and laptop PC's technologies have both been around
for a while, yet have so far failed to make a real impact with mobile
workforces. These options are expensive; often require specialist
hardware and software to accomplish the job as well as in-depth training
for the users. In comparison, digital pen and paper is a cheap solution
that requires little or no training. |
| |
|
| Q |
What hardware do I need to use for the digital pen
and paper? |
| A |
All you need to use DP&P is a digital pen, a digital
form and either a PC/laptop . Connection to an company intranet or
the internet - either wired or wireless - brings addition data management
benefits. |
| |
|
| Q |
Do I need to have internet access to use digital
pen and paper? |
| A |
Some DP&P services use the internet as its primary
means to communicate and transfer information and access global services.
However, local laptop/PC and company intranet solutions are also available
that do not rely on the internet. |
| |
|
| Q |
How do I retrieve my data? |
| A |
Processed data can either be retrieved on demand or
delivered to you on a schedule. You can receive the information in
any standard or proprietary data format and it can be fully encrypted. |
| |
|
| Q |
How do I integrate my data information into my other
information systems? |
| A |
Intelliscan offers several ways to integrate form data
into other information systems. In situations where a database export
format is chosen, data can be reviewed within the form database and
then ported to another system using the integration tools that work
with SQL Server or Access. Alternatively, data can be directly imported
into other systems through XML. |
| |
|
| Q |
What types of information can I gather with the digital
pen and paper? |
| A |
Digital pen and paper creates a digital image of each
completed form for your reference, records, or reproduction. Beyond
the form image, the paper and pen allows you to collect alphanumeric
and numeric data, as well as information from checkboxes and lists.
Signatures and freehand drawings can be captured and sent digitally.
Intelliscan also provides more advanced solutions - incorporating
mapping and diagrams. |
| |
|
| Q |
Will the digital pen and paper solution recognize
handwriting and turn it into data? |
| A |
Yes. The digital pen and paper solution uses handwriting
recognition technology to convert handwriting to alphanumeric and
numeric data. Review and correction of data can then be easily accomplished
either via direct manipulation of form data or within an editable
document format. |
| |
|
| Q |
What data formats does digital pen & paper support? |
| A |
Data generated by the digital pen and paper can be delivered
in XML, SQL Server, Access, and tab delimited text (TXT) formats.
