Abstract
This paper describes the work performed in ESPRIT Project 295, “The Paper Interface”. The project deals with the interaction between the electronic and paper forms of documents. It covers the input from handwritten or printed documents, the manipulation of the electronic version of the document, and the output to paper. The input can be from a document scanner or from a digitising tablet in real time. Techniques have been developed in order to recognise both the textual and graphical parts of the input document so as to enable their subsequent manipulation by computer. Editing and printing facilities have also been developed. The paper highlights the Final Technology Demonstrator which is a prototype office workstation with the “Paper Interface” components integrated into it.
