Greetings from family-land! I am still vacationing – hence my spotty bloging. But, I did manage to get it together long enough to try out the new version of the Capturx pen from Adaptx. The big highlight if you are already a Capturx convert is that you can now print out paper from OneNote that can be used with the pen rather than having to use the special notebooks they provided in the past.
I’ll be writing a review of my experiences (I am a Capturx newbie) but in the meantime, I got this from Marc Pierre, Capturx’s product manager:
____________________________________
Capturx enables individuals and teams to take notes and sketch on paper with digital pens, which automatically record and integrate the handwriting into Microsoft Office OneNote. Anyone can simply write in Capturx notebooks or on ordinary printed pages with digital pens. All the information is backed up, searchable, and sharable in email or other Microsoft Office applications.
One customer of Adapx is an engineering firm whose staff record field observations and make sketches that result in volumes of data that is difficult to sort through and time consuming to key into PC’s. Their paper based data is now uploaded into OneNote where they can take advantage of sharing the information with others or even search the handwritten text.
Caputrx is also offered to office staff for use in meetings to help boost productivity which has been so successful we often get thanked for a tool that enables collaboration without being a distraction. At any time staff can reference and share notes directly from Microsoft OneNote. Office staff or field teams are now able work in a variety of locations, simply write with an easy to use pen and paper and stay focused on their jobs instead of burdensome tools.
Capturx instantly digitizes the handwriting on paper, helping to bridge paper based tools to powerful digital features in OneNote. Many of our customers found the original 5X7 notebook with waterproof pages to be helpful in field scenarios, but we also got a lot of requests for letter sized notebooks. Today we offer both letter sized 8.5X11 notebooks and unlimited print on demand of notebook pages directly from OneNote, using ordinary paper!
We are looking forward to lot’s more feedback from our customers to help with future releases.
