PhatPad Awards

"I have been a long time user of PhatPad so I know that this new version is a continuation of an already great program, adding new features and better support for Windows Mobile 5. PhatWare Corporation is a company which has produced many great programs such as PhatNotes, PhatSpell and CalliGrapher, all of which has won many awards. I tried very hard to pick on the software and the company behind it but I really can’t find anything that I don’t like or unhappy with the new PhatPad."

PhatPad 4.1 Overview

PhatPad is an advanced notes organizer for Microsoft Windows Powered Tablet, Desktop and Pocket PCs. It allows you to draw pictures, jot text notes, or put a mixture of pictures and typed text on a virtual scratch pad. The program uses new digital ink technology, which provides a very smooth ink flow, so it feels like you’re writing on a piece of paper. While working with the note editor, PhatPad offers standard editing commands, such as Undo, Redo, Cut, Copy, Paste; 25%-200% zoom and special Fit to Screen mode; Draw, Select, Erase, and Change modes; customizable pen palette; variable pen width; customizable toolbars; variable page size; and page preview mode. You can export your notes and drawings as bitmap, JPEG or PNG images, email them as file attachments, and transfer them between Pocket PCs via infrared. In addition, PhatPad allows you to store up to 1,000 pages containing a mix of handwritten text, drawings and printed text per single file and add an optional memo, a background image, and a voice note. You can use the Pocket PC navigation button to browse multi-page documents and zoom in/out, or to scroll the current page depending upon your preferences.

PhatPad also supports reminders and includes a basic shape recognition engine that allows you to draw smooth geometrical shapes, such as rectangles, circles, triangles, straight lines, and arrows. The latest version of PhatPad now allows a user to move the selected strokes around the page; change stroke's color and/or width; resize selected strokes; load background images; change page order; add voice notes; create and manage PhatPad document templates; create dynamic drawings using the animation mode; protect the document with 265-bit strong encryption; view, edit, and print PhatPad documents on the Desktop or Tablet PC.
