Nuwa Pen for Document Editing

I was interested in reading the article comparing NuwaPen with Remarkable and the conclusion that remarkable was better for marking up documents and drawings. 

 

In a basic MVP, it would be possible to use the Nuwa app or other scanning app on a mobile phone to digitally scan a page of a paper document using the camera, (apps like Dropbox can do this well already if you prefer to integrate the feature rather than recreate the scanning function).  Once scanned it would be possible to import the scanned document as the “paperspace” for Nuwa app digital document.  If you can then orientate and align the paper version with the digital versions of the page, it would be possible to add the handwriting mark ups to the digital page. 

 

Second, once you can edit one page of text, it’s a short leap to handling and editing a multipage document. 

 

Finally, an advanced feature would be to OCR the document text and formatting / layout from the scan, then create “smart editing” by converting the handwriting crossing out and additions, into live edits of the digital text producing a final edited version of the digital document “automatically”.  

This has many challenges but would be an awesome future feature and is similar to previous posts requested by budding authors writing and editing transcripts.

Good luck
