For 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 can reproduce this very close to 100% of the time (on some of the styles) with a specific string - my string contains an apostrophe & ends with "III" suffix.

It also reproduces, but only some percentage of the time & on some styles, with only the string "III" (no quotes).

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.

How is getting handwritten notes minimal effort?

Compared to the hoops salespeople jump through on a daily basis to chase down anything that faintly smells like a lead, scribbling notes on mailings is low effort indeed.

My 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.

Words starting with Z come out looking like a T most of the time for me.

Great work! Any chance that you could add the two letters ö and å? Å would be the same as ů but with an "a" as base. Ö would be the same as ä but with an "o" as base.

Yes, we can! Can you please submit a pull request here: https://github.com/certik/slabikar-otf , just add the new character definitions here: https://github.com/certik/slabikar-otf/blob/dce9fc9e575f7d6e... , here is an example how uring (ů) is done: https://github.com/certik/slabikar-otf/blob/dce9fc9e575f7d6e... .

What do I need to make this work for arabic script? Is it possible to adapt it at all?
