The Wacom Ink Signature SDK makes it simple for developers to add support for biometrically accurate handwritten electronic signatures on pen-enabled devices. Wacom STU series signature tablets, Wacom pen displays, and mobile devices running Windows, iOS, or Android are all supported.

The Signature Library in the is used to capture handwritten signatures from a Wacom or third-party pen tablet/mobile device. The library makes using Wacom pen tablets easier by providing an API for managing and displaying signatures.

The SDK is simple to use, rendering digital ink, displaying dialogue boxes, and capturing full biometric signature data for a variety of new use cases in financial services, legal processes, sales transactions, and many other identity verification scenarios.

Basic functionality of the SDK is free to use with Wacom devices running Windows. The SDK can be used to enable Wacom digital ink on third-party devices with the paid licenced version, which adds additional functionality.

Key Features

The Wacom ink SDK for signature allows adding safe, handwritten electronic signature capability to their apps as simple as possible.

  • Simple integration: The SDK was created to make it simple for solution providers to add support for in-person handwritten electronic signatures to their customers’ document workflows.
  • Biometric accuracy: Each signature records biometric data such as pen position, pressure, inclination*, and movement speed, which can be utilised to verify the signature.
  • Wacom devices, third-party mobile devices running Android or iOS, and Microsoft Ink-enabled devices are all supported.
  • Platform independence: The signature data generated by the SDK can be shared with multiple vendors’ signature systems.
  • Compliance made simple: End users can benefit from built-in encryption of signatures saved in ISO or FSS (proprietary Wacom) format, as well as rich data like as timestamp and location

General Use

The Signature Library includes examples in a range of languages including:

  • HTML
  • Java
  • JavaScript
  • C++
  • C#
  • VB

A full description of the API can be found in the Signature-Components-API document.

This is Digital Ink: Use Cases

Digital Ink enables users to express themselves in a variety of ways. Whether they like handwritten notes or scribbles, working intuitively on documents with their kids, filling out forms, or requiring safe and legally binding signatures, Digital Ink allows them to accomplish it all.

Digital note taking and drawing

Making notes, sketching out a procedure, or doodling about with a concept are still the most natural ways for humans to keep track of, produce, and exchange data and ideas. And each stroke is one-of-a-kind.

There hasn’t been a means to assure that this uniqueness is preserved when using digital ink with any existing or new application on any platform in the past. Now there is. WILLTM (Wacom Ink Layer Language) is the industry standard for creating and distributing handwritten information on any pen-enabled device that preserves its distinctive properties within and between apps. But that’s only the beginning of the narrative.

Digital education

Online and remote learning is growing more popular. WILL SDK for ink and Wacom Ink SDK for documents enhance the digital classroom and remote learning experience with intuitive handwriting annotation and sketching.

Consider a class where students and teachers can work together in real time through an interactive teaching software. Using a tablet and pen, everyone in the class may contribute comments, drawings, and notes to the presentation in digital ink – and owing to a unique pen ID, everyone can see who did what.

Teachers will be able to better track how pupils respond to certain activities in this situation. They can provide targeted help to individual pupils based on this information, focusing specifically on the primary issue areas. Alternatively, they can digitise handwritten class tests using an app powered by the Wacom Ink SDK for documents. This improves the efficiency of scoring and collating results.

Handwritten form-filling

Digital operations are disrupted by handwritten paper forms. Wacom Ink SDK for Documents enables handwritten electronic form-filling simply to integrate into digital workflows.

Many processes in healthcare, finance, and government still rely on people filling out paper forms by hand and in person. The Wacom Ink SDK for Documents aids in the digitization of the form-filling process.

It allows form-handling applications that record handwritten digital ink inputs like handwritten text or signatures in form fields using state-of-the-art handwriting recognition.

Digital Ink for Education

Digital Ink for Education enables kids to write in a variety of ways that promote their cognitive development. It can also assist educators in illustrating hard concepts while also paving the way for new innovations, such as text recognition and AI-based services.

eTOP Solution considers digital ink to be extremely adaptable, and we constantly keep the end user in mind. As a result, our technology is adaptable to a variety of applications and procedures. All areas are covered by customized solutions for developers, conceptual designers, and end customers.
