ABSTRACT:
An interactive data entry apparatus to accept, translate, store, and transmit data entered via a paper data entry form and to simultaneously create a written and magnetic or other computer data record. The apparatus has a digitizer upon which a data entry form is placed and a clip which holds the form in place. The digitizer determines the type of form, generates a data entry area corresponding to the form, and accepts check-marks and alpha-numeric data. The apparatus also has a microprocessor for storing appropriate data or commands; a stylus; a display to provide visual feedback of entered data; a speaker to provide audio feedback; batteries and wireless communication device to allow portability; and memory and communication ports to provide additional capabilities including communications with a central processor and enhanced local memory capacity. Commands may be entered or activated in the processor be selecting various function keys through holes in the clip's transparent surface. Further, the apparatus may include an access limiting device to ensure the proper authorship of the data entered.
