Convert typed text to handwritten letters

Practice your manual handwriting skills. Then use the letters you've practiced to convert typed text into a handwritten format! . The application is built using Python, Pygame, and Pillow libraries.

Practice handwriting, and use all the letters you've practiced to create something touching

I decided to practice my handwriting schools during medical school to be a more effective clinician. So I made an app that took my handwriting practice sets, and turn them into a way of writing handwritten letters.

Features

• Converts typed text into a handwritten format.
• Supports a variety of characters including alphabets, numbers, and special symbols.
• Renders the handwritten text into an HTML file with customizable styles.
• Randomly selects character styles from a predefined set of images.
• Works great on a tablet or laptop with a touchscreen.

Installation

Ensure you have Python installed on your system. Then, install the required dependencies:

pip install pygame pillow

Usage

To run the application, execute the following scripts:

1. Generate handwritten datasets by running handwrite.py.
2. Render the handwritten text into an HTML file using handwriteRender.py.

Each line is rendered as a separate div, and each character is rendered as a separate image. The images are chosen randomly from the images/letters directory,

The "color" of the characters is changed from blue to blackevery time the user types a '#' or '$' character.

The program also adds a background image to the output, which is specified in the style sheet as images/background.png.

The output is written to a file named output.html.

Directory Structure

• handwrite.py: Main script for generating handwriting trace datasets.
• handwriteRender.py: Script for rendering the handwriting into HTML.
• images/: Contains images used for rendering characters.
• input.txt: Input text file containing the text to be converted.
• output.html: The output file containing the rendered handwritten text.
