Looking For A Product....please Help
I honestly do not know where to start looking...what we are looking for is a product that will allow us to take a digital image of something, then mark up the screen, save the picture with the markings, then email them...
an example would be to take a picture of a machine with a problem, then in John Madden like fashion, draw an arrow to the problem area, indicate the problem right on the pic, and email the marked up picture to a contractor... this device ideally is wireless, but if we need to download to a computer, that would work as well... thanks |

You can do this on an iPhone using a variety of applications. For example...iDoodle is one application that will allow you to draw on the photos and then email them.

It's expensive but the only thing I can think of would be Adobe Acrobat. You would have to convert the digital file to pdf format then you can draw on it, type on it etc..

This may be what you are looking for:
http://www.multiteam.info/engels/har...cohcamera.html I Googled; Cameras with Writable Screens and this was the first result. Other than that, which I am sure is expensive, you can do the MS Paint or the Open Source "GIMP" to do drawings on your computer screen after you download them. Ed

I think Ed has it, MS Paint or Gimp, then use PC to email. One last thought, if you have a laptop and a USB camera you could do it all from there. .
