Looks pretty cool. Any support for Spencerian Script or Kurrentschrift? If that's the case I'd really love it!

#112My first name contains one of the fewest used letters of the alphabet and in first position nonetheless: Xavier Let me tell you: the training data did not contain that many X to begin with :D The Xs at best look like Ts, at worst like malformed Os. Always funny to find the blind spots of some piece of tech.
Try 'XXX'. Definitely too much variation with what should be the same glyph. It doesn't seem to know about ampersands either.

#113Awesome, but fails with accents etc. A case for polish: „Zażółć gęślą jaźń” - fails in many gunny ways. I also tried emojis - of course it failed, but now I’m super curious how would hand written emojis look like :D
> A case for polish
I run it few times and some in some variants algorithm just gives up and produces some noodles similar to "szlaczki" - the patterns kids train before starting hand writing. Definitely the issue of diacritical mark presence - maybe the input should pick the closest "clean" Latin letter before algorithm becomes aware of accents?

#114For fun: max speed, max legibility, style 2, sentence "My first name is: bla bla bla bla bla bla bla bla", stroke width doesn't matter.
It may take a few tries but at some point, you may get some weird results (about 1/4 time for me). It may happen with other settings, but these work well for me.

#115You may want to experiment making characters slightly larger or smaller, and making some characters slightly more spaced than others.

I think all of the car dealers I've dealt with the past decade are doing something like this. I get "handwritten" notes from them a few times a year telling me the market is hot for my 5 year old Subaru and I'd be a fool not to trade it in. I don't know if it's a machine writing the notes or if that's what salespeople do when they aren't busy.
I work for a company that writes a lot of the fundamental technology for car dealers. In most cases you probably are getting actual handwritten notes from salespeople. They’ll absolutely put that minimal effort into lead generation.
Just goes to show how little personalization matters. Unless it's actually personal, it's still fake!

Needs a "doctor" mode.
Isn't it interesting that regardless of the culture, every nation seems to have "doctor" mode writing? I wonder how it comes to be.
I suspect its less to do with actual, objective legibility and more to do with patient anxiety. The things that doctors (and pharmacists, etc) hand-write tend to be personally important.

#118Increase speed and decrease legibility, i got my signature..!!
