Wacom is an old name when it comes to digitizer tablets as well as styluses that simply work, and work well. This time around, the Wacom Clipboard has been revealed to transform your business into a more paperless environment. Granted, one can never end up with a truly paperless environment, but there is the possibility of minimizing whatever use of paper wherever possible. With the Wacom Clipboard, such a vision becomes easier, since businesses are able to transform paper documents into the digital format — in real-time.

Also known as the PHU-111, the Wacom Clipboard is a smartpad which will allow users to complete and sign documents with the help of standard paper forms as well as ink. It will then convert the documents to a digital version in real-time. Biometric handwritten signatures will also be able to be captured and attached. The digital documents can subsequently be stored on local PCs, or simply have them uploaded immediately to servers or the cloud for easy document management.

Businesses such as service, healthcare, insurance industries and public sectors that still require paper forms but would like to move to a digital archive can always rely on the Wacom Clipboard to deliver a secure and easy method of instantaneously digitizing and saving these paper documents, all without having to change existing paper-based workflows.

The electronic clipboard will be paired to a host PC or a mobile device through Bluetooth, although there is also an option for USB connectivity when making use of a PC. Anytime a document is placed onto the Wacom Clipboard, the integrated barcode reader will be able to automatically identify the document, communicating with the PC or mobile device in order for the corresponding digital document to be called up.

While there is no word on pricing just yet, the Wacom Clipboard is tipped to be ready for shipping at the end of July 2017.

Not all styluses are created and developed in the same manner. Some other models do seem to function better than the rest, and the same can be said for the all new Bamboo Sketch smart stylus. What makes the Bamboo Sketch different from the others? For starters, you are able to use it to draw on iOS devices, now how about that? An accessory which can be used to write as well as visualize your ideas on an iPad (the iPhone would be far too small, of course), as though you were writing on pen and paper, is certainly more than welcome as it helps to increase the versatility and function of your iPad.

This new smart stylus for iOS devices will target those who think in the visual format, as it offers a customizable and natural pen-on-screen experience. Since Wacom has a whole lot of experience in terms of designing digital styluses in the past, this smart stylus is perfect to complement the user experience. One can pick from a soft or firm nib, and can also customize the buttons to have their favorite commands are at their fingertips.

The Bamboo Sketch has incredible pressure sensitivity, letting users write and draw in a way that looks and feels like a pen on paper. When you use it in conjunction with other compatible apps, the smart stylus will then offer 2,048 levels of pressure sensitivity. Visual thinkers who are always on the move will find the Bamboo Sketch to be a snap to tote around, since it can be stashed away and transported in a neat travel case that will also have room to spare for the replacement nibs and USB charging unit, too. No more excuse of being unable to sketch and draw anywhere now, is there?

Apart from that, the Bamboo Sketch can last up to 15 hours when connected to the iPad or iPhone via Bluetooth, which should be more than enough to get you going for a full day of work. The Bamboo Sketch will retail for $79.95 and is already available for those who are interested.
