XMS Penvision launches Formidable with support for iPad

2011-12-22

XMS Penvision is proud to release Formidable 2.9, the leading digital writing platform, including support for iPad.

With Formidable 2.9 we now support both digital pens and iPads as input devices. And they co-exist perfectly in Formidable. Creating an iPad application works in the same way as a paper application by using the Formidable DesignTool. You may create specific applications for iPad or applications that works with both pens and iPads.

Introducing naturalFORMS
With naturalFORMS for iPad you complete forms using the optimum input method for each type of field. Input methods include printed and cursive handwriting, checkbox and radio button input, option lists for easy selection of common items, visual inputs such as a date and time wheels, and a virtual keyboard if necessary.

Instant validation
One of the greatest benefits is that the information can be validated at the point of entry. naturalFORMS can notify the user about missing fields to make sure that the final data is complete. Vision Objects' handwriting recognition engine MyScript is included in naturalFORMS and you can use all lexicons, subsets and regular expressions available in Formidable.

Advanced graphics, photo and voice inputs are also supported by naturalFORMS and Formidable. Users can take a photo with the iPad camera and attach to the form, make notes or mark-up diagrams or schematics, and create freehand drawings. The solution also captures handwritten signatures. naturalFORMS even captures GPS coordinates.
A version for Android will be released Q1 2012. 

Formidable 2.9 with support for iPad is available for immediate download from XMS Penvision's partner portal.
