The system, priced at $399.00, naturally records handwriting on any document or form, instantly creates searchable PDFs upon docking and automatically controls where the information will be sent, stored, managed or processed. It works with documents printed from any Windows application including desktop PC software as well as Internet-enabled applications. Digital copies are created in the common PDF format, so they are easily used with almost any information system.

The Xpaper PDF Digital Writing Kit includes a digital pen based on Anoto digital pen and paper technology, the Xpaper PDF Print Driver, Xpaper Manager and the PaperView Assistant.

• Xpaper PDF printer driver – the printer driver is installed just like any other printer device. It adds a unique pattern of Anoto microdots to documents as they are printed, and an image of the document is automatically stored on the computer for later reference.
• Digital Pen - containing an integrated miniature camera and image microprocessor with onboard memory, this pen utilizes Anoto technology to record handwriting, while writing in real ink on documents.
• Xpaper Manager - this software automatically displays PDF copies of documents once the digital pen is docked in its USB cradle. Users can send or manage the documents in a variety of ways, or choose to have them automatically processed silently in the background.
• PaperView – enables users to easily enter handwritten data or attach digital copies of paper forms into any Windows application or browser-based system.

“We created this kit in order to help people more easily use paper in their digital world,” said Tim Aughenbaugh, president of Talario. “It enables business users to continue to have the advantage of paper’s utility and flexibility, while automating and streamlining the use of documents and paper-generated information in their existing digital systems. Our goal is simple - make paper play nice in a digital world. With Xpaper PDF, we can finally make that happen.”

Xpaper PDF is easily configured for networked environments. Documents can be printed on any computer, written upon with multiple pens and then docked at any other computer. Handwriting is automatically updated on the digital copies so it always matches the physical paper. Additionally, documents can be configured at print time to automatically route to certain locations via email or file storage. Upon docking of the pen, users can automatically trigger applications to manage the information.

“We are pleased to be working with Talario to offer such an efficient, commercially viable option for data capture needs. The presence of boxed products like Xpaper PDF increases the ease with which new users can adopt the Anoto digital pen and paper technology. This is a growing market for ready-to-use solutions, catering to the mid-sized and small business customers,” said Ebba Åsly Fåhraeus, VP Sales & Marketing, Forms, Anoto.
