Our design tool is a Flash based web application to enable digital pen & paper functionality. DesignTool ranges from uploading backgrounds, enabling form field functionality to specifying validation and export. The only requirement is a web browser.
PenPusher
PenPusher is the client software that is used to send the digital pen data into Formidable. PenPusher is tightly integrated and allows for two-way communication. PenPusher Portal enables the administrator to distribute PC and mobile phone software to users as well as keep track of and push available upgrades. Clients are available for Symbian S60, Windows Mobile, J2ME, Blackberry and Windows PC.
Handwriting
recognition
Formidable includes a seamless integrated version of Vision Object’s MyScript including 30 languages and 88 alphabets. Easy-to-use formats allow the designer to select from predefined rules for the writing fields.
PrintProcessorPrinting is done through a locally installed Windows based software. Multiple print processors can be connected to the same Formidable system for smooth deployment of the forms.
