January 10, 2002
GTCO CalComp, Inc. significantly enhanced the features of their InterWrite Software with the release today of Version 3.1. InterWrite Software 3.1 comes with a wide range of new features including handwriting recognition, a virtual keyboard, expanded drawing tools, USB connectivity for the InterWrite MeetingPad and expanded formats for saving files.

InterWrite Software is the meeting software developed by GTCO CalComp. It allows users to annotate, highlight and modify presentation materials from the InterWrite MeetingBoard or from any computer. In addition, the handwritten notes can then be saved and printed or e-mailed out to those in the meeting or those who could not attend, making meetings more effective and timely.

“The newest InterWrite Software demonstrates our commitment to continue to add features while maintaining the ease of use and an intuitive interface that sets InterWrite apart in the industry,” says Rob Meissner, VP of Marketing. “The software is designed to allow anyone in a room to pick up a pen and begin interacting with the MeetingBoard or MeetingPad in a matter of seconds, without any formal training. It’s simple, easy yet very intelligent.”

Among the enhancements in Version 3.1 are:

Handwriting recognition allows users to handwrite notes and then convert them to text and modify them with a spell-checker and editing feature.
Virtual keyboard allows users to enter text from the MeetingBoard or MeetingPad without having to go back and forth to a computer.
Expanded drawing tools provide greater sketching functionality by providing easy drawing of basic shapes.
Grid lines assist in note-taking on blank pages.
MeetingPad USB connectivity expands connectivity choices for the MeetingPad.
Expanded file formats allow users to export their meeting notes to a variety of file formats including jpg, gif, png, html, and exe.
