Original Press Release:

Save a Thousand Words with Inspect-Write(TM) from PenFact

Boston, MA April 4, 2003- PenFact today announced the introduction of a new and innovative Inspect-Write capability - Picture Capture with Mark-up running on any portable Microsoft Windows Tablet PC, Laptop, CE, CE.net or Pocket PC touch-screen device that has a built-in or attached digital camera.

"A picture is worth a thousand words" and users of Inspect-Write Data Collection and Inspection Management software from PenFact, Inc., can now save thousands of words with the introduction of the new, innovative digital Picture Capture with Mark-up capability. Smooth integration of digital pictures elevates the data collection process by creating real-time images while simultaneously recording the item's condition. The picture is an integral database element available for subsequent documentation, analysis, review, reports and audits.

Inspect-Write mark-up takes the picture into the realm of true data collection. As users capture real-time images, they can annotate and highlight areas within their pictures using color for special emphasis. Simultaneously and automatically, Inspect-Write associates the picture with the user, date and time, conditions, and actions for powerful data reporting, cataloging, and retrieval. The software stores the image as an integral database component on the mobile unit, uploading it immediately via wireless network or deferring upload for later "hot sync" data transfer. A central data repository, using any SQL compliant relational database, provides access to the collected images for visual documentation, analysis, review and reports.

Inspect-Write can now save users thousands of words and deliver visual documentation evidencing exact conditions for presentation to management and others for prompt, expedient attention and resolution; saving user companies significant time and money.
