This would have been so awesome to have in my Eastern European high school, where you're required to write essays by hand instead of typing them. The font it generates is similar to my handwriting but fails hard on accented letters though.

I always wondered if pharmacists had any specific training in the terrible handwriting doctors put on prescriptions, or if they all just figure it out in their first year.
> I always wondered if pharmacists had any specific training in the terrible handwriting doctors put on prescriptions One day my local pharmacist was in a chatty mood whilst filling my request and one topic that came up was doctor's handwriting. The answer is yes, they do (did ?) receive training in handwriting recognition. Basically it involves learning to recognise common abbreviations and mostly being very familia…
This reminded me, I once attended a lecture by a pharmacist who got interested in handwriting and showed how different conditions and medications might manifest in customers' handwriting.
Looking at the samples, it was pretty fascinating.
Since he undoubtedly read a lot of doctors' writing too, and since I personally know a doctor who abused their access to medication, I did wonder what questions this pharmacist would've had about local doctors...

#143I'm right handed, only 6 & 7 styles looked to have a right-handed slant.
Perhaps a slant (skew) slider would be a nice touch.
Also, none of the styles stroke their dots (dotted "i", etc.). I know it might be derisively called "cheerleader style" (but it's the way I dot my i's to give the dot more weight).

#144I wish this had centerline data so I could use it with my plotter.

#145Come to think of it, handwriting is one of the most perfect uses for "what's connected to what" AI.
Love this

#146For 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.

I had it do this on the word "lazy". Just filled the screen with loops.

#147My 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.
With a couple of tries I got a perfectly legible... T
To be fair, I kind of remember handwriting X (and x) as totally counter-intuitive in school.
