RAPTOOL 4
We are very excited to introduce Raptool 4. We have focused allot on adding
new features that let you make your apps look better, do more and even faster
development times. Here are some of the new features:
Text to speech, calendar, image/signature capture, video and much more.
New features. Examples:
Send SMS
You can send an SMS from your app through the Script Server. Use our account for easy setup or create your own account with your SMS provider.
Send email
Send an email directly from your app. Make a HTML template to make it look nice (any design you want). Create a PDF report and send that to your customer. For example you can send a shipping note when you are finished picking an order in a warehouse app.
Text to speech
The app can read out any text inside your app. For example, in the warehouse, the voice can tell you the next stock location, quantity to pick, product name… Available in most languages.
Voice to text
Use your voice to enter text in to any input field.
Google maps
Send an address and start Google Maps from your Raptool App
Show video
Display a video in any part of you app. For example you can show an explanation for the user of what to do in an app…
Background database sync
Databases can be synchronized in the background. User can work offline in places without mobile connection or Wifi, data is then synchronized in the background when internet connection is back. The last changelog check all changed data since the last connection. The user always has the most recent data available and can get lighting fast response from a local database.
iOT sensor support
