Ok, now this is a fun little utility!
Scanahand enables anyone with a scanner to turn their own handwriting into a fully-compatible TrueType font.
Use it in Word, PowerPoint, Adobe Acrobat, the Windows system, Excel, Notepad, Adobe Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, Adobe Illustrator... literally any Windows application!
It's so simple. Just print out a font template page, write in the letters with a black magic marker, and scan the template straight into Scanahand. It will automatically convert your handwriting into a scalable, vector-based TrueType format and install your brand new font in Windows. That's all there is to it!
Best of all, Scanahand isn't restricted to scanned input. Power users and advanced hobbyists alike can use it along with their favorite graphic design or drawing software to create or modify each individual character and utilize Scanahand's quick conversion and installation.
Note: Scanahand fonts can be used on BOTH Windows and Macintosh computers!
