Complete the forms with the handwriting to be converted
|
Scan and e-mail (or snail mail) the forms back to us
|
We produce your font and e-mail it back to you as an
attachment.

Your e-mailed font will be accompanied by a special configuration
file that specifies certain handwriting characteristics when
used in conjunction with the Scriptalizer Software
You will also receive instructions on how to download and
install the very latest version of the ScriptalizerSoftware so that you can try the full features of your
font immediately.
 When you are certain
you are happy with your font, we will also mail it to you on
CD-ROM. This CD ROM will also include the latest copy of the
Scriptalizer
Software, your handwriting font configuration file, and all of
the current fonts stored in the 'Font Vault'.
If required, we will also set up your own Personal Handwriting
Font Web Page.

The Premium 'Ultra' Service is the cream of our
handwriting font services, and offers one of the most
realistic handwriting font products on the market.

Usual Limitations Of Basic, True Type Handwriting Fonts
There are always certain limitations when re-creating handwriting
using fonts. Only one version of each letter can be used in a
font, even though individual letters will differ during normal
handwriting. The shape and joining strokes of a letter are dependent
on the letter which came before it, and the letter which comes
after. Normally you have to accept these limitations and understand
that your handwriting font will never look EXACTLY like your
actual handwriting.
What Makes The Premium 'Ultra' Service Different?
As you may have already read under our Premium Service information,
with careful examination of your writing style, and the use of
our unique SPACEanchor system, we can reproduce your handwriting so that it
looks extremely similar to your actual script. We do this by
asking you to write a number of key words in your natural handwriting,
rather than writing out individual letters as per some of the
other services.
We also use over 20 years of Graphonomy (handwriting analysis)
experience to assist in ensuring that your unique handwriting
style is re-created.
With the Premium 'Ultra' handwriting font service we
have further overcome the limitations of character repetition,
by embedding over 90 additional characters in the font. These
are accessed and replaced by our FREE Scriptalizer Software, which
adds another level of naturalness to your, already fantastic,
handwriting font. We therefore ask you to complete a fifth and
sixth submission form for this service, with further examples
of your handwriting.
 An optional seventh
form allows you to supply examples of how you cross out or scribble
out mistakes for words of different lengths. Many of us experience
a 'slip of the pen' when we write and have to cross out our mistake
(or use correction fluid, or screw it up and start again!).
 If
you supply these 'error' characters, when you use the Scriptalizer, you will have the option
to ask the software to add 'mistakes' at a frequency you choose.
The Scriptalizer
will take the next word when it is time to create a 'mistake',
randomly change one letter, and then cross it out.
If you do not complete this form, we will generate a default
'error' character using one single line through the centre of
the word to be crossed out.
The Premium 'Ultra'
PLUS Service
If you have a cursive handwriting style, which includes cursive
capital letters, you may wish to take advantage of our Premium
'Ultra' PLUS Service. When we produce your font, we usually use
the capital letters that you have provided on the natural handwriting
forms.  If
these are particularly cursive (joined to the following letters),
they will not work well if you want to produce entire words in
capitals (see example, right).
If you opt for the Premium 'Ultra' PLUS Service, we will use
the printed capitals that you provide on Form 1 to produce a
SECOND font, that will allow you to produce more acceptable printed
handwriting, in capitals, when you need it.
How Does The Scriptalizer Work?
The Scriptalizer software is a small, standalone program (Windows
only - including Vista) that is very simple to use. It doesn't
use 'macros' like some handwriting font services offer, nor does
it install toolbars or require complicated setup.
Clicking on this image shows a full view with Scriptalized
text
You simply type (or paste) the text you want to 'naturalise'
in the top window, click the Scriptalize! button, and your handwriting
font looks better than ever!
The 'Copy Text' button lets you copy the converted text so
you can paste in into your favourite word processor.
What makes the Scriptalizer different from other handwriting font services on the
market is the use of a configuration file, which defines the
letters that have starting and ending strokes particular to your
handwriting style.  This
is supplied with your font and only needs to be changed (using
the configuration or CF buttons) if more than one person wishes
to use the software.
 The
graphic (right) shows the same sentence, typed out three times,
and subjected to the Scriptalizer software. Look at how many of the letters vary within
each sentence and from sentence to sentence. Compare with the
standard Premium Font (above). See how starting 'anchor' strokes
have been added. along with ending strokes on the letter 's'.
Spot The Font!
Here is an opportunity for you to see if you can tell the
difference between real handwriting and a Premium 'Ultra' font.
Take a look at the examples below:
Example 1
Example 2
Can you see the difference? Which one is the original handwriting
and which one is the font?
Example 1 is the font!
For the Premium 'Ultra' Service you will be required to complete
at least six forms (with an optional seventh). The forms include
the standard characters used for everyday handwriting, plus some
of the more specialised characters you may need. Any characters
you do not specify will be automatically inserted by the software*.
You will be required to write a number of sentences and individual
words in your own handwriting on Forms 1, 4 and 5. You can use
more than one copy of Form 4 and Form 5, as necessary.
*Note: Characters that are not specified will be replaced
by approximations and will not reproduce the cursive effect.
Examples of forms

IMPORTANT
By using our Premium 'Ultra' handwriting font creation service,
you are accepting that certain limitations apply when trying
to reproduce handwriting as a font. These limitations are:
- This
handwriting font service, although extremely realistic, still
uses a font to reproduce the handwritten effect. Careful examination
by someone will reveal that it is a font, although this is more
difficult to detect than the other services we provide. The realism
of the font is also reliant on the quality of paper and printer
used to reproduce the font.
- Handwriting
characters may not look as clear on screen as 'standard fonts'.
(This is dependent on the thickness of letters used).
- We
can only reproduce the letters that you supply. If you are unhappy
with the results because you have failed to follow the instructions,
you will be requested to make another purchase to rectify the
problem.
- However,
we will do an unlimited number of small 'tweaks' on created characters.
- We
will replace up to 5 characters free of charge.
- This
service is primarily designed for producing printed handwritten
documents. If you are sending an electronic version of the Scriptalized
font to someone else (e.g. by e-mail), you must be sure that
they have your Premium 'Ultra' handwriting font installed, otherwise
they will not be able to read the text.
- The
service is only available to Windows users.
