DigitalInk is an effective new data capture solution that uses the most familiar equipment known to man, the Pen & Paper!
DigitalInk uses a digital pen and specific paper forms to capture information as the user writes. Despite looking like a conventional pen it also includes a tiny camera.
The paper forms used by DigitalInk include a dot pattern that is almost invisible to the naked eye. This dot pattern is read by the camera as the user writes and logs the exact position of the writing on the form in real-time.
After completion of the form, the user would tick a small check box and the data would then be automatically transferred to head office using the users’ mobile phone. The solution is simple to use, highly portable and very cost-effective.
The delivered form output is of the highest quality and appears as though the original paper-form had been scanned using a high-quality scanner.

A more advanced solution can be made available that incorporates handwriting recognition on the form and convert the writing into meaningful data. This data can then be uploaded onto the client’s back-office systems (i.e. Customer Service Systems of Order Processing Systems) for onward processing. |
In office scenarios, DigitalInk would communicate the information stored on the pen via a USB cradle attached to a computer. In a field-based scenario the solution would send this information via the users Bluetooth ™ mobile phone.
DigitalInk provides real-time access to information captured in the field and eradicates the need to scan paper-based forms in order to store them online. It also eradicates the need for any business to key form-based information delivering further cost-reductions.
Imagine what a difference DigitalInk could make to your business.
