Capturx
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Capturx is a no-code mobile software platform for use with digital pens or any modern touch screen device, designed for organizations[1] to automate paper-based data collection and similar operations.[2] Paper survives because it is easy and reliable- but paper-based workflows[3] include manual labor like scanning and data entry. Data on paper frequently languishes in the field, waiting to get delivered, scanned, re-typed, or is subject to misinterpretation during transcription.[4]
The challenge Capturx attempts to tackle is process reengineering of paper based processes.[5] Capturx works as an add-in with Microsoft Office Excel,[6] and SharePoint,[7] passing structured handwritten paper forms or data captured with touch screen devices into a SharePoint database and further integrated into corporate databases.
The add-in software works with digital pens from Anoto.[8] The pattern is like a digital fingerprint making each printed page unique to each application and file,[9] as the pen writes it stores the handwriting digitally for integration into the native application of the paper document.
The software and digital pens are typically used for field service,[10] data collection, note taking,[11] compliance, and red line markups of building plans.[12]
