Learn to write by hand — really write. Meshk is a handwriting and calligraphy trainer that guides your pen stroke by stroke, scores every stroke in real time, and covers 139 writing systems in one app. From Latin cursive and Arabic calligraphy to Chinese hanzi, Japanese kana, Korean Hangul, Devanagari, Tamil, Thai, Cherokee, Ge'ez and N'Ko — 73 scripts in living use today, 66 historic ones, 169 practice packs and 13,256 characters, every one with authentic stroke order. WHAT YOU PRACTICE 139 writing systems Latin (print, cursive, formal script, school manuscript) and Cyrillic · Arabic, Hebrew, Syriac and Thaana · Chinese Simplified and Traditional, Japanese kanji and kana, Korean Hangul and hanja, Bopomofo · 39 Brahmic scripts including Devanagari, Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Gujarati, Gurmukhi, Odia, Sinhala and Tibetan · 17 Southeast Asian scripts including Thai, Lao, Khmer, Burmese, Javanese, Balinese and Baybayin · African scripts including Ge'ez, N'Ko, Tifinagh, Vai, Adlam and Bamum · Armenian, Georgian and Greek · and 66 historic scripts from Egyptian-era alphabets to Runic, Gothic, Glagolitic, Old Turkic, Brahmi, Linear B and Cuneiform-era writing. Hat — classical Arabic calligraphy Five historical styles taught the traditional way: Naskh, Thuluth, Diwani, Ruq'ah and Kufi, with right-to-left guides and reed-pen (qalam) simulation that reproduces the angled nib of a real calligrapher. Hat Studio Meşk the way calligraphers learn it: 896 Arabic compositions, from single words and joined words to full lines, stacked compositions, panels, the tughra and mirrored writing, each written stroke by stroke with a reed pen. Eight more pen hands (Foundational, Uncial, Cyrillic and Greek broad pen, Hebrew Ashuri, Hangul Panbonche, Chinese Kaishu, Japanese Kaisho) and a drawing shelf of 84 exercises in line, ellipse, form, perspective, value, contour and construction. Real stroke scoring Not tracing theatre. Every stroke is compared with the master stroke for direction, order, shape and placement, then scored. Hints show exactly where your stroke went off. Animated stroke guides Watch each character written stroke by stroke, replay at your own speed, then write it yourself over a dotted outline, on lines, or on a blank page. Courses, lessons and exams Every script has a structured course: single letters, lowercase and uppercase, connecting letters, words, then an exam that scores you and awards stars. Kids Zone Playful, age-appropriate letter tracing for children — shapes, letters, words, badges and streaks, with a progress map they want to finish. Your own practice material Add your own words, your own texts and blank practice papers. Meshk builds lessons from whatever you want to write — a name, a poem, a vocabulary list. Import your own fonts Bring any writing style in as SVG and Meshk turns it into a guided, scored course. THE PEN RACK 81 pens, open in every lesson: Apple's eight inks and 73 reeds, nibs, brushes, leads and charcoal on ten shelves. Each has its own cut, angle and ink load, so a Thuluth reed behaves like a Thuluth reed. On iPad the rail sits on whichever side you hold the tablet. MADE FOR APPLE PENCIL Low-latency ink, pressure and tilt response, paper-texture haptics and hover support. It feels like a pen on paper, not a finger on glass. Works on iPhone too. PERFECT FOR • Adults fixing their handwriting • Language learners who want to write, not just type • Calligraphy beginners and enthusiasts • Children learning their first letters • Teachers and tutors running handwriting classes • Anyone learning a new alphabet before a trip, a course or an exam MESHK PRO Meshk Pro opens connecting letters, word lessons, unlimited exams and your own words, texts and practice papers in every course. Download Meshk and write your first letter today.

Meshk's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
