We have a web enabled application that is accessible from a Tablet PC and we would like to add signature capture functionality to it. That is, the ability to write a signature on the screen and have it saved in a field as the signature…not converted to text. Does anyone know of any techniques or software that supports that function? Thx in advance for any help.

So you don’t actually want handwriting recognition, you want to take the input to an Ink control and convert it to an image, then upload that. This is a matter for the nice folks over at MSDN – it’s not a Notes or Domino issue.

That’s right. I would agree that it is more an issue for MSDN, but I was hoping someone in the Domino world had experience with it already. Domino applications are so well suited to the Tablet I have to believe that there is a product or technique that supports this function.

The Domino side really needs nothing – a way to invoke the control (an ActiveX embed in passthru) and a file upload control. The rest is ActiveX, IE and WinXP TPC. The magic is in getting the image recorded to a file where it can be uploaded, and that’s a WinXP TPC issue.

Thx for your input Stan. I have to believe there would be a market for a tool such as this.
