Your handwriting, now a font you can actually type. SnapFont is the handwriting font maker that turns one page of your real handwriting into a real, installable font. Print one sheet, write your letters once with any pen, and take a single photo. In a few minutes you have your own custom font, ready to install on your iPhone and type in almost any app. Most font makers ask you to draw seventy letters one at a time on a small screen, or they trap your font inside a keyboard you can only use in a few places. SnapFont is different. You write the natural way, on paper, and you get a real font file that is truly yours. WRITE ONCE, TYPE FOREVER - Print the template. One page holds every letter, number, and mark you need. - Write your letters with any dark pen. Neat or messy, it still looks like you. - Snap one photo of the page. That is the whole capture. - Get your handwriting font and install it in a few taps. TYPE IN YOUR OWN HAND, EVERYWHERE Once your font is installed, you can type in your own handwriting across your apps. Use it in notes, mail, messages, documents, and captions. Your words finally look like they came from your hand, not from a screen. A REAL FONT FILE, NOT JUST A KEYBOARD SnapFont makes a real font you can export and keep. Send the font file to your computer and use it in your favorite writing and design tools. Your handwriting becomes a custom font you own, not something locked to one app. MAKE AS MANY AS YOU LIKE - One font for your everyday notes - A neat print font and a fast cursive font - A signature style for cards and letters - A fun font for a friend or family member Keep every font you make in one place and switch whenever you want.
