FontCapture
Since I have ridiculously terrible handwriting (it's like reading the scribbles of a baby with a pencil in its mouth) this program wouldn't do anything for me. However, the concept is incredible. Using your own handwriting as a font is genius. While I'm sure it's easy to tell that it is computer generated, having something so personal digitized is super convenient. It's ironic in a way to digitize handwriting since the whole point of word processing is to avoid handwriting. Yay meta culture.

Concept is great, but I, too, have pretty terrible handwriting, so unless I wanted something illegible, I would just use an already standardized font.
ReplyDeleteHaha. That was funny. I agree with you on the paradox of the concept. As a graphic designer, I would design a brand new font rather than use my own crappy handwriting...
