About this app

The Phablet Signature Pad is software that turns your Android device into full featured hardware for electronic signature capture used for signing documents.

Note: When you run this APP, your Android device or phone will be a full featured signature capture pad. Use our Windows API (Application Programming Interface), a free download (available here no registration required) to implement signature capture, using the Android device, in a Windows application.

Need compatibility with existing signature pads?

We are experts in signature capture hardware interfaces. Please contact us and we will be happy to show you how we can implement interfaces plug compatible with your existing signature capture software.

Even better, note that our CursiVision software is an economical, automated, and full featured signature capture and document management system.

In Addition: This signature pad offers the capability to create rich and powerful user interface controls on the Android Device.

Typically, POS and other systems used to gather signatures (any handwriting) have an application, usually running on a Windows PC, that is connected to a signature pad, from one of various hardware vendors, via USB.

Sig Cap software addresses the pad through an API developed by the pad hardware company. Accordingly, clients extend significant resources preparing their system(s) for use with a particular brand, in some cases model, of pad by modifying their software to use the API. By the nature of this approach, implementors have been "locked" into a vendor for the hardware because of the high cost of developing the appropriate "connections" to the pad. This is great for pad companies, not so great for the rest of us.

Finally, an approach has been taken that frees the signature capture software provider from the "hooks" the pad companies have into their wallets.

These entities are now free to focus on just signature capture, regardless of make, model, or color of the signature pad in use.

What's more, since your Android device is already a highly capable computer in it's own right, with a modern and sophisticated operating system behind it - signature capture is just the beginning. We have replaced the notion of "hotspots" ( an antiquated user selection mechanism requiring complex processing be done in the client application ) - with actual Command Buttons - that is - real computer controls, with which end users are intimately familiar, right on the "signature pad".

In fact, the entire gamut of user interface components is available on these Phablet devices acting as a signature pad. This includes check boxes, radio buttons, push buttons, drop down lists, scrollable text areas, and on and on. We are focused on replacing the very expensive (feature poor) electronic signature pad hardware, with the ubiquitous pool of far more powerful Android Tablet computers and phones that will continue to grow deeper and wider.

This is an entirely new world of user interface "instantiation" on Tablets. Simply put - the Tablet becomes a small terminal in a scenario where an application, perhaps running on a central desktop PC, could drive a small, but rich user interface dialog on any handheld device. For that matter - any number of devices simultaneously! The Already developed "business logic" to utilize and act upon the user interaction remains on the desktop PC, but the user interface(s) themselves appears on handhelds, literally anywhere on a network visible to that desktop "server" PC.

The possibilities available with that type of configuration are very exciting. At InnoVisioNate, we are fully involved in exploring this new paradigm in client/server application development and we are 100% committed to ensuring it is a success by doing it right from the beginning.
