What's New in cursiva
1.5.6
April 4, 2022
Now the letters are connected the right way! For example, when you write "bee" you can see the difference between the two "e's": the first one connects from the top and the second one from the bottom, just like any person would do when handwriting. That's possible thanks to its new AI Linker Algorithm that connects the letters in a rich, natural, smooth way.
