Handwriting Digital Tools & Apps

A few Great Tools and Apps we’ve found. If you have suggestions for other tools, please email us.

AI-Powered Handwriting Recognition Tools

Example: Google’s Handwriting Input allows users to write text on their devices, which is then recognized and converted into typed text. It can be used in handwriting practice to improve legibility.

These tools can assess a student’s handwriting, recognizing both the shape and legibility of their writing. They analyze factors like letter formation, spacing, and overall neatness, and then provide feedback to help improve skills.

Adaptive Learning Platforms

AI-driven adaptive learning platforms adjust the difficulty of tasks based on a student’s performance. These platforms offer personalized exercises and learning paths that cater to each learner’s individual progress.
Example: Knewton is an adaptive learning tool that adjusts lessons based on the learner’s strengths and weaknesses, which could be applied to handwriting.

Speech-to-Text Tools

While not directly related to handwriting, speech-to-text AI tools allow students to speak, and the tool converts their speech into written text. This can be a useful assistive technology for students who may struggle with fine motor skills or handwriting speed.

Example: Dragon NaturallySpeaking is a popular AI-powered speech recognition tool that converts spoken words into text.

AI Writing Assistants

These applications often use AI to give real-time feedback on how a student writes. For instance, they may use a camera or a digital stylus to monitor writing behavior and then give feedback or suggestions for improvement.

Interactive Apps with AI Feedback

These applications often use AI to give real-time feedback on how a student writes. For instance, they may use a camera or a digital stylus to monitor writing behavior and then give feedback or suggestions for improvement.
Example: Writing Wizard is an app that helps students practice letters and numbers using an interactive system that provides instant feedback.
