Is the tech good enough for it to be undetectable.
If I were to hypothetically use it to complete the handwritten assignments that my old school professors demand (in much of the yappier courses) would this slip through without getting caught.
This is all hypothetical of course.

Re: Making a font of my handwriting
#82When I was a teenager I made a ttf-font from the handwriting of a girl I was in love with as a gift for her. Man I underestimated that task seriously. I used some tool that was included in the Corel Draw Suite, scanned a sheet of paper on which she had written me the alphabet (in upper and in lower case) and vectorized everything by hand. It was so. Much. Work. Since then a quarter of a century has passed and it is o…
So what happened with her? Was the effort worth it? Happily ever after?
I don't know what she is doing now, since we lost contact many years ago. Basically after school when I moved away to study. So no happily ever after with her, but it was absolutely worth the effort. It would never have worked out, since we were way to different, which she knew, but I – as always – took longer to understand. However it was such an important thing for me, since it was the first time that I was really confident and brave enough to be really open about my feelings and my interest. Of course it took me some time and overcoming, but in the end I was able to openly communicate to her and also not trying to play cool or hide it from my friends. I think it really was the first conscious experience for me in regards to that: to really just do the jump, be open about my feelings, take my shot and in the process make myself vulnerable. As I said, she gave me a clear "no" and I think that was for the better – not only because we came from quite different worlds but also because I still had so much to learn. However she handled all this so perfect, gracefully and appreciative: actually for me the perfect experience to learn and grow from. We stayed friends, continued to do stuff together and it never was much of a topic after a while. I still remember how after I was a bit petulant in the first time after her rejecting me and refused her offering me some of her lunch. She told me in the most respectful way that just because she said no to one thing I didn't have to say no to everything else now. Which was exactly what I needed to hear. It showed me that I hadn't lost any of her respect and that relationships with people do not have to be all or nothing, can have so many facets which can (almost) all be valuable and should be appreciated – just as she still appreciated our relationship. Although there was no happily ever after, I still like to remember all that. Today I am having my happily ever after with a very wonderful someone else. But to become the person who is having this, the whole experience with that girl was so important. I was making myself very vulnerable for the first time and it was the best fail-scenario I could ever think of and it helped me become more brave and open about myself and my feelings.
Thanks for making me remember this experience.

This is not a humble brag by any means, just sharing my experience I type 121 wpm and I simply can’t concentrate when writing by hand It’s too slow and instead of focusing on formulating my thoughts or capturing what’s being said I get super fidgety Not to mention my handwriting stinks For me it’s a lot easier to remember when I’m fully immersed and processing ideas vs tediously writing I do think this is probably ju…
Your handwriting skills are due to lack of practice. You weren't born typing at 121wpm. I prefer typing for anything longer than a few words. But I can't type a picture (despite things like Mermaid and PlantUML) being useful. I make extensive use of paper (and whiteboards if I'm sharing) for making pictures, mostly graph-like things such as flow diagrams, sequences, ERD etc. I feel somewhat "disabled" if I'm forced t…
I don’t know man, my point was more than I probably don’t lean the actual skill of writing fast, it wasn’t necessary lack of practice
All through college I had to write extensively and still never got anywhere near that speed
I do wonder about raw limits - unless you learn a specific shorthand, I can’t imagine writing out the word “something” faster than I can type it - unless as an example I used sm instead

#84I did something similar for my wedding website back in 2013. We used a mail-in service that produced a decent TTF, and then I converted it to a WOFF. Still online at https://ruthandjosh.net/story/ (warning, millennial cringe ahead)
I’ll take millennium cringe over gen-z nihilism.

Great story and learning experience, thanks for sharing it :)

Bravo for the introspection, OP. Thanks for sharing.
