ABOUT
ENOTATE
By
incorporating writing into everyday computing, Informal Software
has simplified the communication and collaboration process, making
it 100% electronic. enotate software essentially turns the stylus-based
device into the electronic equivalent of "pen and paper"
and enables it to become a real-time, direct extension to the PC
and MAC. Informal's enotate software has redefined the use of the
stylus-based device by taking it to another level, adding new value
to a tool consumers already use on a daily basis. Informal Software's
enotate is not another attempt at pen computing or handwriting recognition/graffiti,
but instead enables actual electronic writing that is compatible
with existing PC applications including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint,
and Excel as well as graphic images and digital photography.
ABOUT
INFORMAL SOFTWARE
Informal
Software, Inc., founded in 1998, provides innovative software solutions
that extend the functionality and usability of PC and MAC-based
applications, as well as simplify communication and collaboration
by incorporating writing into everyday computing thereby making
the process 100 percent electronic. With enotate, users can naturally
and intuitively represent and communicate electronically the true
"gist" of information, messages, thoughts and statements
using a digital document or image. Unlike pen tablets, drawing/sketching
software packages or other pen-based computing solutions, Informal
Software's unique "Informal Interface" enables actual
electronic writing that is compatible with existing applications
including Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and Excel to allow business
professionals and consumers alike to interact with a personal computer
in a more natural and intuitive manner. Informal's enotate is a
platform independent application that optimizes handheld devices
whether being used at home or at work, transforming them into the
ideal "fourth peripheral" for the PC or MAC sitting alongside
the traditional keyboard, mouse, and display. enotate software was
developed for the family of Palm connected organizers, Palm OS devices,
and Microsoft PocketPC-based handheld computers.
