Introduction to ePointer


The ePointer is a simple and powerful virtual annotation tool, which supports free drawing, doodling and annotation on any apps. It can be widely used in teaching annotation, remote meeting assistance, online education presentation, illustrated annotation, stock market analysis, etc. With exclusive features like click-through and canvas paginator, you can efficiently enhance expression, collaboration, and interaction without interrupting your workflow.


The app provides 3 drawing modes (classic, dynamic, freeze), 14 sets of drawing tools, multiple brush sizes, dozens of selected colors and color panels, 4 graphic effects (shadows, strokes, dotted lines, translucent), Canvas Paginator , multi-spotlight, Ink Fading, multiple visual command modes, blackboard whiteboard and many other features; By Click-through switch, you can easily switch between drawing and interaction, and solve the contradiction between drawing and interaction. Through the powerful Canvas Paginator, layered annotation and overlay display solve the problem of complex annotation clutter. At the same time, it supports regular operations such as re-editing of graphics (adjusting appearance, size, angle, etc. through the handle), copying, cutting, pasting, and undoing, saving and reading annotation data, and saving full screenshots, supporting full shortcut key operations, and fully customizing shortcut keys. The toolbox supports docking at the edge of the screen (automatically hidden display) and does not take up space.

epointer details

Features in detail

Three painting modes

Classic Mode: suitable for scenes where redrawing is light and interaction
Dynamic Mode: suitable for scenes where light drawing and heavy interaction
Freeze Mode: Annotates transient interfaces that automatically disappear when they lose focus

Both Classic mode and Dynamic mode support annotation of animations, videos, games, and other dynamic images.
+ In classic mode, you can draw directly on the screen, and interact with third-party software by permanently or temporarily turning on the Canvas Click-through feature.
+ In smart mode, you can directly interact with third-party software, and you can draw on the screen by permanently or temporarily turning off the Canvas Click-through feature.
+ Freeze mode is a mode specially used for interfaces that will automatically disappear after losing focus, such as menus, etc., which will be automatically hidden once the focus shifts, and freeze mode will freeze the screen state when started, so as to realize the annotation of transient interfaces, but therefore it does not support annotation of dynamic images.

Canvas Paginator

The Canvas Paginator can paginate the annotation content, and the annotation of each page is independent, such as the dimension of the first page, the angle of the second page, etc., and finally, you can choose to overlay some or all parts of the page to form a complete and complex annotation result. Through the Patinator, the explanation and annotation process can be clearly organized, and the annotation results can be seen at a glance.

1. Provide up to 9 independent pagination
2. The annotated content in the tab will be automatically saved and loaded
3. Pagination can be displayed independently, or multiple or all pages can be specified for overlay display
4. Pagination can be customized to clarify the labeling content of each tab
5. The pagination data can be exported and saved as a whole, and reloaded and used later

Canvas Click-through

During the explanation or demonstration process, it is often necessary to draw and annotate on the screen, as well as interact with third-party software. The ePointer provides two ways to easily switch between drawing and interaction at will, this switch does not need to exit the painting mode, will not affect the content that has been marked, unless manually cleared, so it will not interrupt your workflow.

Provide one-click switching shortcut key for Classic and Dynamic mode
The Classic mode can draw by default but cannot interact, while the Dynamic mode can interact but cannot draw by default. In fact, the essential difference between Classic mode and Dynamic mode is that the canvas Click-through feature is turned on or off.
Provide a shortcut key to temporarily enable or disable the Canvas Click-through
If you only need temporary, a small amount of interaction or drawing, you can use the temporary switch of the Canvas Click-through feature. In the Classic mode, you can temporarily turn on the Canvas Click-through feature by pressing and holding a specific shortcut key, at this time you can interact with third-party software, and after completing the interaction, release the shortcut key to resume drawing; In Dynamic mode, press and hold the same shortcut key to temporarily turn off the Canvas Click-through feature, at this time you can temporarily draw on the screen, and when you are done, release the shortcut key to resume interaction.

Multi-spotlight

The spotlights of the ePointer are divided into circular and rectangular shapes, and the spotlights are usually used to highlight the key content on the screen. The Spotlight tool allows you to draw one or more lights on the screen at the same time to highlight multiple points of interest. Drawn spotlights can be readjusted in appearance, size, position, etc. with the Selection tool.

Four graphic effects

The ePointer can add four graphic effects to the drawn graphics, such as shadows, strokes, dotted lines, and translucency, which can be used alone or superimposed; In addition to increasing the beauty of graphics, graphic effects can also cope with different drawing needs.

+ Shadows can make the graphics more beautiful and three-dimensional, highlighting the graphic effect
+ Strokes can adapt the graphics to different backgrounds, and when the background is colorful, use strokes to make the annotations clearer
+ Dotted lines can provide a dotted line effect for path graphics to distinguish them from solid line graphics
+ Translucent effect with brushes or fill rectangles to achieve a coloring effect on text

Ink Fading

The Ink Fading allows the drawn graphics to automatically disappear after a certain period of time, eliminating the need to "wipe the blackboard" step in.

14 sets of drawing tools

The ePointer provides a wealth of drawing tools, including free curves, straight lines, arrow straight lines (single arrows, double arrows), indicator arrows, rectangles, circles, solid rectangles, solid circles, texts, multi-spotlights, icons, screenshots, selection tools, erasers, etc., and the same group of tools can be switched with the Tab key.
Use the Picking tool to readjust the appearance, size, position, color, effect, and more of the drawing drawing.
The macOS version also provides tools such as area screenshots, magnifiers, and preset graphics.

Selected brush colors

Dozens of selected colors are provided, whether it is dark or bright backgrounds, to meet the needs of drawing; At the same time, you can also set shortcuts for 10 colors through custom shortcuts for quick switching.

Blackboard, whiteboard

The blackboard and whiteboard of the screen electronic teaching whip each provide 9 paginations, which is equivalent to 18 blackboard whiteboards. The annotated content in each tab is automatically saved and loaded, and the content in the tab is also supported for overlay display and data export.

Fully customizable shortcuts

The on-ePointer provides full shortcut operation, and almost all shortcuts are customizable.

Graphic editing actions

Use the selection tool to move or re-edit the drawn graphics, including resetting the color, effect, size, etc. of the graphics, and readjusting the appearance, scale, angle, etc. of the graphics through the adjustment handles of the graphics. At the same time, it supports single and multiple selections of graphics, and supports regular operations such as copying, cutting, pasting, and undoing graphics.

Toolbox edge docking

Drag the toolbox to the edge of the screen to automatically hide the toolbox into the edge, and when the mouse slides over the edge again, the toolbox will automatically appear.
In addition, double-clicking on the blank space in the title bar of the toolbox can minimize the toolbox and reduce the screen occupation.
