Ritescript Releases ritePen Pro with Enhanced Features for Healthcare, All Tablet Users Popular Handwriting Recognition Software Adds Context Aware Recognition and Markup Features Sunnyvale, Calif., March 24, 2009 — ritePen enables users to transparently write anywhere on the screen or other writing surface in smooth digital ink. Their handwriting is instantly converted into text and placed into any target text-aware applications. The addition of context aware recognition, combined with over 50 special dictionaries shipping with ritePen Pro and extended list of healthcare terms in ritePen’s main dictionary, boost recognition accuracy in forms. Additionally, advanced ink commands (handwritten shortcuts) allow users to automate their routine desktop tasks. ritePen is increasingly used by healthcare professionals to enter data into Electronic Medical Records. "I have used ritePen for years and have appreciated being able to write anywhere on the screen and its uncanny ability to correctly interpret my chicken scratching," said Nelson Hochberg, general manager at Switzer Medical, Inc. "With the binding capability of the new release, ritePen now knows what kind of data is expected in each field of my medical billing software and the handwriting recognition accuracy has increased tremendously. Now inputting data into my medical billing software is faster using handwriting with ritePen than by typing!" Said Don Sickle, president of EHRInsider: "Our providers are finding ritePen an easy to learn, time-saving tool for their Electronic Medical Health Records. With all of the common, repeatable instructions that practitioners use on a daily basis, being able to easily drop them into the progress note with just a couple of handwritten symbols is a huge advantage. We see ritePen as being key in reducing the time needed to document the patient encounter." Users of mind-mapping applications find ritePen a helpful tool facilitating their workflow. "Integrating ritePen with our mind mapping software has given our users an unprecedented level of interactivity," said Chris Griffiths, managing director of Buzan Online, the developer of iMindMap software. "It allows people of all ages to realize their brain potential." Full-screen markup and the ability to save annotated clips in Evernote notebooks increase productivity of pen-enabled users. "ritePen is a popular tool among Wacom Bamboo and other pen tablet customers," said Dennis Hoff, senior product manager for consumer products at Wacom Technology Corporation. "The addition of a quality markup feature to ritePen Pro 3.1 and its integration with Evernote allows storing, multi-platform access, and sharing of annotated snapshots by Wacom’s large installed base of tablet users. This will increase customer productivity and ‘social capabilities’ of Wacom products."
