Thinking of doing a write to text set up for accessibility for those that don't get a long with keyboards. Anyone set on of these up or got any ideas?
I am assuming that a pad would would work with vision like the signature pad.
I can't image someone getting along with writing on a pad more than with a keyboard xd
Using it to capture an signature image is ofc fine. But if you want it to really read the image to a string, idk, i would imagine most python AI models that can do this, to require pythonC which does not really work on Jython.
Maybe if you have an app for that on the pad, than it would just work like any textbox i imagine, if its a good app. but idk anything about those

You could, theoretically, do this with built in OS features, i.e. Windows' handwriting input mode:
Integrating that OSK with Java Swing will either be trivial, or a massive pain.

I'm going with this one. It would require elevated privileges to open it.

This is interesting. I don't really need ignition to use the input, I just need the data.
Call from Ignition > OS pop up to write > saves to a set place and format when closes > Import data to Ignition or to database.
Depending on how good it is on where I put confirmation on being correct before final save.
On plant floor where I am at there are people that use flip phones because that's what they know and just have never needed anything else. The big use case would be for shift notes, repair notes, things like that. More information they will give the easier it is.
Oh, you literally just need a Vision component analogue for the Signature pad in Perspective.
Well, good news:
Disclaimer: I wrote this code ~7 years ago and haven't really touched it since. I would probably do many things differently now, but it's more-or-less functional, as far as I know, and should at least serve as a decent starting point.
