The app explains this before generation and provides a shortcut to write missing characters before export. What makes a good photo?

Progress is saved after every letter, so you can finish later. KEEP THE DETAILS THAT MAKE IT YOURS Review every captured letter and redraw only the ones you want to change. Adjust stroke thickness and cleanup, then preview your actual font. Size, spacing, slant and natural variation style your previews and shared images. YOUR HANDWRITING KEYBOARD Turn on the InkFont keyboard and every key shows a letter you wrote. Type a message, tap Copy and paste it as an image into any chat. It also types plain text.
