Handwriter: Text to Assignment

Welcome to the official documentation for Handwriter, an Android app that turns text you type or paste into a page that looks handwritten, then exports it as a PDF.

What is Handwriter?

Handwriter formats text you already have, typed fresh or pasted from a note, document or email, into a handwriting-style page. You pick a font, an ink colour, a paper style and a page size, Handwriter renders the page, and you save or share the result as a PDF. It does not write, research or generate the content for you: you supply the words, Handwriter changes how they look on the page.

Key Features

  • 114 built-in handwriting fonts across English, Hindi, Russian/Kazakh, Arabic and Urdu, with Arabic and Urdu rendering right to left
  • Upload your own font - add a TTF or OTF font file, including one built from your own handwriting, and use it like any built-in font
  • 10 ink colours and 6 ruled-line colours, or turn the lines off entirely for a plain sheet
  • Adjustable spacing - letter, word and line spacing, margins and line height
  • A heading area and a left-margin note column on every page, alongside the main text
  • Page backgrounds - built-in paper patterns or a photo of your own
  • Render styles - No Effect, Shadow Only or Scanner Effect, for a more natural, photographed look
  • Page Distortion and Page Rotation - subtle warp and tilt effects that appear once you export the PDF
  • Insert images - add a picture to a page, crop it, and recolour it to look ink-drawn
  • Multiple page sizes - Postcard, US Letter, US Legal, and A0 through A8
  • Everything happens on your device - no OCR, no AI, and nothing you write is sent to a server

Quick Start

  1. Install Handwriter from Google Play
  2. Tap Create New on the home screen to start a document
  3. Type or paste your text, then pick a font from the font button
  4. Adjust the page - ink colour, ruled lines, spacing and page size - from the toolbar and Page Effects
  5. Tap Export, give the file a name, and Handwriter saves it as a PDF

Free and Pro

Handwriter is free to use and shows ads. Handwriter Pro is an optional upgrade, available as a monthly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase from the Pro button on the home screen. According to the app's own description, Pro gives you an ad-free experience, removes any page limit, unlocks every handwriting font, and lets you upload your own font file.

Requirements

  • Android 6.0 or later

Inserting images, adding a custom font, or saving and opening PDF files may ask for access to your photos and storage. See the User Guide for details.
