Version Alert! Among other improvements, Version 3 of Scanahand has a brand new multilingual user interface that supports English, French, German and Dutch. What's more, the tracing method used by Scanahand has been further improved to generate even more stunning fonts!
You've just spent the better part of an hour poring over the fonts that are installed on your computer. You may have a rock band, a cool new business, or be redesigning your web site. Regardless, none of the stock fonts seem right for job.
You can't help but think that you could design the perfect font yourself, if you only had the tools!
With Scanahand 3 Premium Edition, you do! This awesome application allows you to make a reality of all those incredible font ideas floating around your brain. With just a felt-tip marker and a scanner, you'll be able to add your personal touch to literally any application that uses system fonts!
Using Scanahand 3 Premium Edition is beyond easy. First, print a template page (basically a grid with designated spaces for letters and numbers). Next, take a black marker and craft the corresponding letters and numbers in each box.
Now comes the cool part! Scan your finished template into Scanahand 3 Premium. Make any edits right from the application, and with another click your new font will be automatically installed to your system, ready to use!
Some of us are better at creating fonts with a mouse or stylus than a pen & paper. No worries -- you can also create and modify fonts with your favorite graphic design application and import them without any trouble.
Scanahand 3 Premium Edition now offers the option to create your own templates! What does this mean for you? It means that you can break free from the ABC's and create your own character sets based on non-European languages such as Greek, Czech, Elvish, Klingon... you get the idea.
Think you can do a better dingbat? Scanahand 3 Premium Edition also features a symbol template. With space for 221 symbols, this four page template is the perfect solution if you want to make fonts based on drawings of your pets, cartoons, signatures, logos, or whatever else you can imagine!
