How it works
A handwriting app and a language bridge in one. Here's the method.
1. Trace on a real ruling
Every script gets the ruling calligraphers actually use. Latin sits on a 4-line guide (ascender, x-height, baseline, descender). Devanagari hangs from the शिरोरेखा headline. Japanese uses a genkō-yōshi grid. Arabic flows right-to-left. You trace a faint model letter with your finger or a stylus.
2. Get scored live
As you write, we score two things: shape (how closely your ink follows the model) and flow (whether cursive joins stay connected, or block letters stay clean and even). A gentle settle-timer waits until your pen rests, so dotting an i doesn't end your turn. Stars and a short tip tell you exactly what to fix.
3. See it → say it → understand it
This is the wedge. Each foreign word shows the script, a romanisation (how to say it), and the English meaning. You're never copying shapes you don't understand - you read what you write. Words start with the simplest, most common ones first (water before its formal synonym), so depth begins at letter one.
Four hands, for every learner
- Copperplate - for beauty.
- Palmer - fast and practical (also best for left-handers).
- Everyday - a relaxed daily cursive.
- Block - clear print, easiest to read; best for beginners or anyone with dyslexia.
What's free, what's Pro
English and the European scripts are free. Letters and words are free in every script. Sentence practice - the joined-up, real-language tier - is Pro. Sanskrit stays free always. See pricing.
