Good day, list.
I have begun using the app DoItWrite, available for $1.99 in the app store to practice handwiriting. Note the spelling w r I t e. I did this as I have found that apparently my handwriting has deteriorated, even though I had enough vision many years ago to have learned how to write by hand. This app is designed with the VoiceOver user in mind, and requires that it be turned on and that handwriting be placed in the rotor. I was playing around with it today and it seems to function pretty well, giving good descriptions of how to write each character when in the learning mode. There are four categories to choose from, lower and upper case, numbers, and punctuation, just as with the handwriting mode. The app has four tabs, home, which describes the apps function, the learn tab where you practice, the play tab, which I haven't used yet, which provides a game designed to increase speed, and the settings tab. If you have done the necessary activation of VoiceOver and handwriting, the only setting you should need to be concerned with is repeats, which governs how many times you draw the character correctly before you move on to the next one. This can be set anywhere from none to five; I set it at three. \ I got through all the lower case letters this morning, but had the most trouble with I and f, especially dotting the i. I started upper case and began pretty well, although the A seemed to insist on adding the crossbar even though that wasn't in the app's description. I had trouble ewith the capital G, perhaps since I was having trouble grasping the description fully, though I once saw well enough to know that that should look like. That's were II stopped after about an hour total of work. So if you are having difficulty using the handwriting mode or with handwriting in general, this tool might be helpful.
