Copperplate Coach vs Calligraphy Practices

Copperplate Coach helps you study **traditional English Copperplate capitals** (round hand / Engrosser’s style): curated lessons for every letter, **on-screen tracing** over licensed exemplar artwork, and optional **AI coaching** for deeper tips and photo feedback on your practice sheets. **Key Features** • Browse capitals **A–Z** with overviews, stroke ideas, and common pitfalls • **Trace** each letter on your iPhone or iPad with finger or Apple Pencil (PencilKit) over a semi-transparent guide • **AI letter coach** — expand any lesson with structured tips and a short practice drill (optional) • **AI practice coach** — photograph your paper practice; get strengths, improvements, and a suggested drill • **No accounts, no ads, no in-app purchases** — lesson text and exemplar images are bundled in the app **How It Works** 1. Open **Letters** and tap a capital. 2. Read the lesson, study the exemplar, then tap **Trace over this letter** to practice on screen. 3. Optionally tap **AI: deeper tips** for extended guidance (sends text to our AI provider; see Privacy Policy). 4. Use the **Coach** tab to pick or snap a photo of your practice and tap **Get AI feedback**. **Educational Use Only** AI output is for learning calligraphy. Do not use it to forge signatures or official documents. **Privacy & Data** • **No personal data collection** — we do not ask for your name, email, or an account. On-screen tracing stays on your device and is not uploaded. • **Bundled exemplars** — capital reference images are from **Wikimedia Commons** (Copperplate letter Version2 set), © Thirunavukkarasye-Raveendran, **CC BY-SA 4.0**. Attribution is shown in the app and in our privacy policy. • **AI processing** — when you request letter tips or practice feedback, data is sent over **HTTPS** to **Replicate** (replicate.com), which runs **Google Gemini**. We do not operate our own backend for the app. Text-only AI requests may include a minimal placeholder image due to API shape; **only the Coach tab** sends your practice photo. • **Camera & Photos** — camera only when you tap **Camera** on the Coach tab; library read only when you choose a photo there. • **No tracking** — no analytics SDKs, ad networks, or cross-app tracking.

Calligraphy Practice is an offline studio for calm, focused lettering. Track every letter of the alphabet with mastery levels, notes, and favorites. Build word drills, explore classic hands like Copperplate, Italic, Gothic, Modern Script, and Spencerian, then start timed sessions with the pens, inks, papers, and techniques you keep in your cabinet. Photograph finished pages into your Folio, tag them, and revisit session history with ratings and notes you can share. Desk shows your streak, practice minutes, achievements, and a daily letter to warm the hand. Statistics highlight the last fourteen days and how your alphabet is progressing. Everything stays on your device—no account and no cloud required. Choose copper or gold accents, set a gentle daily reminder, and keep a quiet ritual of ink and paper wherever you write.
