WriteInConfig

This element provides a blank field in which the respondent can hand write some text or draw a picture.

The hand-filled content of the WriteInConfig element is stored as an image during recognition and can be passed to optical character recognition library, such as Aspose.OCR.

WriteInConfig element can be used to request some information in free form (name, phone, address, and the like) or to offer a respondent answer an open-ended question.
