An electronic input device such as an electronic pen is provided to
annotate a paper document. The input device records an annotation and an
image of human-comprehensible content in the document sufficient to
identify the document and possibly a location in the document. The
human-comprehensible content is used to locate a digital version of the
document and determine a corresponding location of the annotation in the
digital version of the document. A computer system such as a server
system may receive and store the annotation in association with the
digital version of the document. The server system may further augment
the digital version of the document with the annotation and send the
augmented version to an output device for display and/or printing.
