hi everyone kevin here today i want to show you how you can create your very own electronic signature that you could use to insert into documents let's say for instance you have to sign a document well today you could print out that document then you could sign it then you could scan it in again and then you could send it off but that's a lot of work it wastes paper and you need to have a printer i don't even have a printer today i'm going to show you how you could create an electronic signature two different ways one of them is using your phone where you sign your signature on the phone and then we'll bring that onto our pc so it'll be digital all the way the second technique we're gonna sign our name take a high quality photo of it and then we'll bring that into the pc so i'll show you those two different ways now before we jump into it just a quick note on an electronic signature versus what's called a digital signature an electronic signature truly is just an image of your signature and nothing else a digital signature on the other hand is an encrypted file that has a unique code that's difficult to duplicate that's called a digital signature we're not going to cover that today we're purely just doing an image of your signature all right well why don't we jump on the pc and i'll show you how you can do it here i am on my pc and i have microsoft word open and i have a kevin cookie company franchise agreement that i need to sign as i scroll down the agreement here i see the signature fields and ideally i'd be able to put my signature right in here now an obvious way to do that is i could print out the document i could then sign the document and then i could scan it in again the only downside of that approach is it's going to lose a lot of quality once i get it back onto the computer instead i could insert my electronic signature in here and i won't lose any quality with that so how do we do that well first off we're going to open up our phone you could have an iphone or an android phone and we're gonna sign our signature i'm using an iphone and we're gonna use the onenote app to sign our name and then bring that to our pc if you've never used onenote before onenote is by far my favorite note-taking app i use it to organize all of my notes for my youtube channel not only can you use it for notes you could also use it for signing or scribbling on your phone and it'll automatically sync with your pc so it has quite a bit of power to get the onenote app it's entirely free on an...
