In the handwriting recognition technology the inking process enables the users to convert the handwritten data to standard text. Users can also store the data in its ink format without loosing its functionality. Written ink need not be converted to a different format if it has to be saved, sent, sized or manipulated by Windows-based applications or exported across Windows platforms.

Digital ink can be transferred from application to application as digital ink. This proves that the Tablet PC works more than just a handwriting recognition tool.   In the future, these technologies have a large scope.

Digital Ink Signatures

The Tablet PC is the tool for digital forms-based data collection processes. There should be some degree of authentication while providing the means to collect, validate, and store data, digital forms. Pen-based signatures used to be one of the oldest methods of authentication. Upcoming technology is electronic signatures created with a digital pen in Tablet PC applications which is used for collection, preservation, and protection. The design and implementation of Tablet PC applications where pen-based signatures is there provides useful functionality. As businesses continue to replace paper documents, contracts, and forms with more efficient and cost-effective electronic substitutes, electronic signature technology becomes an increasingly important investment. The cost and time savings of doing business electronically are evident across many sectors and industries, yet many companies are still choosing which technology or method is best suited to their needs. Creating, signing, transmitting, and storing any and all documents electronically and in such a way as to be legally-binding can seem like a daunting task, especially for small to medium-sized businesses.
