Annotator addresses the needs of several markets for collaborative document reviews, including healthcare, legal, engineering, insurance and graphic design. Its drawing and editing tools offer users the ability to annotate electronic documents just as they would mark up a hard-copy. As the annotations are routed and reviewed, the whole sequence is shown in the exact recorded order. Because these annotations are recorded in layers, the source document always remains intact. Organizations that typically require input from multiple reviewers will benefit tremendously from this unique technology.
Users record their voice and add graphic elements using a mouse or graphics tablet.
The person receiving the edits will hear what was said and see the annotations on the computer screen. Annotator features a New Layer Wizard to guide users through the process of creating and saving new layers, plus an Audio Wizard to help configure both microphone and speaker equipment. The product supports multi-layer annotations as well as multiple page documents. Password protection can be enabled to keep annotations confidential, if desired. Full OLE Compliance Annotator is OLE compliant, facilitating greater integration with many desktop applications.
