True Richard, but think of this, we are not the only ones to find digitising text useful. so, I suspect, even if it doesn't come out with this iOS, it may follow in fairly rapid succession! also, and perhaps I am misunderstanding this, think of the size of the screen of your phone: The image of, say, an A4 or foolscap piece of paper, would be quite small. people would find it very difficult to write a signature in the appropriate space on such a small image. nevertheless, mention of the ability to add a signature is there. so, there must be a way to transpose a signature from the screen which can be placed at the right size and in the right place onto the image.
