Digital pen technology uses an ink-based electronic pen freely held in a writer's hand. It writes ink onto paper in a normal manner.

By using a special hidden grid in the paper (invisible to the naked eye), the digital pen digitally captures what the writer has written in ink on the paper. The captured data can then be transmitted in real-time using Bluetooth or USB to any specified server location anywhere in the world where the data can be immediately displayed as written. Additionally, using handwriting recognition features and intelligent paper form design, written data can be alpha-numericised for integration into back-end systems.

When it is being electronically transferred, the written data is encrypted and impossible to be decoded, copied, stolen or seen by any one. The recorded data is also time-stamped and the technology also has the capability to identify handwriting and signatures of the writer.

Valentia Technologies Digital Pen Platform offers the potential to drive significant efficiencies and cost savings across industries by digitising paper-based processes.

The Digital Pen Platform is a user-friendly technology that does not require any special skills or computer training. As pen and paper continues to be the medium used, the technology requires minimal changes to existing work practices and procedures. The key difference is that recorded handwritten data is available for immediate electronic transmission and processing without requiring further work to be performed to the original document.
