Signature pads are also used for the capture of electronic signatures in digital documents (like auto repair work orders, medical and dental records, or any type of business that wants to electronically save a signed document and keep it in a file or database).

We have helped equip many tax and accounting companies with the right signature pad model for their specific needs. Choosing the right signature pad for your needs can be as simple as knowing which questions to ask before you buy.

If you're looking for the best signature pad for your particular application, here are a few great questions to think about when selecting the right model for your needs:

Do you need to see your signature (on the pad) while signing?
Yes:  An LCD display or backlit-LCD model is advised.
No:  A non-LCD model is the least expensive and will be sufficient.

Do you only need to capture a signature on the pad?
Yes:  A 1" x 5" sized model is advised.
No:  Any model with a display panel of 1" x 5" or larger is recommended.

Do you need to push text and/or graphics to the signature pad for display?
Yes:  A larger sized LCD model is advised (4" x 3" mono or color, 4" x 5" or 5" x 7" color).
No:  A standard size LCD model is recommended.

Will you have low signing volume (under 25 signatures per day, per signature pad)? Yes:  A SigLite signature capture pad model will suffice. No:  If you will have higher signing volumes, a SigGem model is recommended. Will the signature pads receive excessive use or be exposed to rough treatment? Yes:  A SigGem model is advised. No:  A SigLite model is recommended.
