Abstract
A handwriting capture device which employs an insertable form interface over a digitizer to minimize or eliminate the need for a display. The form may include a menu corresponding to a repetitive task, a keypad, or a place for a signature. The form may be removable as a receipt, work order, invoice, or other document. The handwriting capture device also includes a housing having a top surface and a recess within the top surface, a frame for holding the form in the recess in the top surface, and circuitry for processing information entered into the digitizer. A display of minimal size may be added when the form is permanent and reusable to display signature and user prompts.
