Some companies or institutions only stick with their paper based processes because users annotate comments or scribble some basic drawings on a sheet of paper. They may be not aware that a broad range of devices exist to digitize handwriting.

Most of the devices which capture signatures may also be used to capture annotations or sketches - Tablet PCs running on Windws - for mobile usageInteractive Pen Displays - connected to a desktop or notebook

SignDoc has built-in scribbling capability. The pen strokes from Tablet PCs or interactive pen displays are converted into digital ink. This feature also works with all supported Wacom tablets running under Windows Vista or Windows 7.

This digital ink may be displayed in different colors (see image). Annotations or sketches are part of the secured document when signed with SignDoc. This functionality is ideal for SignDoc's integration in medical applications (e.g. for electronic medical records) but also in service and logistics enterprises.
