ditto

Opening your workspace…

Typed words, in your own hand.

Homework, notes, diagrams and slides. Teach Ditto your handwriting from a page you wrote, then make your work in your own hand.

Start with a photo of your writing, or try a page first.

A page written in handwriting, with natural variation.
The Assistant

Don't hunt for the tool. Just say it.

Tell Ditto what the page needs in plain words. Annotate it like a teacher, scratch out a word, ring the thesis, add a note in the margin. It works out the marks and their order, then the pen makes them while you watch.

Tell me what this page needs, or pick one below.

I work out the marks, then the pen makes them

How it works

One page of your writing is enough.

i

Show it a page.

A photo of your notes, a scan, or a page exported from GoodNotes or Notability. Ditto reads what the page says for you, and you fix anything it got wrong.

ii

It learns your hand.

Every letter you wrote is found, cut out and read back to make sure it is the letter it should be. Ditto learns how you size them, slant them, space them and join them.

iii

It writes in your hand.

Type it, paste it or drop in a file. Each letter is drawn fresh from your own, with a pen's real speed and pressure, so no two ever come out alike.

On a photo

Change the words.
Keep the page.

Photograph a page you wrote and type something new. Ditto lifts your writing off the paper, keeping the rules, the margin and the light, and writes the new words there in your hand and your ink.

  • Your paper stays. Rules, holes, the printed date box, the curl of the page.
  • Your ink stays. The colour and pen the camera saw, fitted to your own strokes.
  • Your privacy stays. Writing happens on your device; pages you teach Ditto with are sent once to learn your hand.

Not a font

A font stamps. Ditto writes.

A font is one drawing of each letter, pressed again and again. Ditto moves a pen: every stroke has a start, a speed, a pressure and an end, so no two letters are ever the same.

Stack every letter on top of itself.

Handwriting experts catch copies by laying letters over one another. A font's copies line up exactly. Real writing never does.

Same sentence, same letter, laid on itself.

Your turn.

Write a note, a letter or a page of revision, in a hand that looks like a person's because it is one.
