Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method are provided for presenting a document image together with a manual signature. The document image is of a traditionally paper-based transaction document such as a check. The invention includes an imager, a display device, and a controller. The imager generates a document image from a physical document. The display device displays the document image to a user. The controller associates a manual signature generated by the user with the displayed document image. An electronic representation of the manual signature may be generated using a digitizer in communication with the controller. Preferably, the components of the invention are implemented using multipurpose devices such as a touch-screen display, printer/scanner, and the like.
