Elyaz turns text into handwriting in YOUR handwriting: type a letter, a thank-you card or a holiday card β or paste any text you like β and get it back ready to print on US Letter or A4. Resignation, apology, landlord and school letters too. Your handwriting never leaves your phone. Elyaz takes the text you write, or the letter you build from a template, and writes it out in YOUR handwriting, then hands you a print-ready page. It is not a font: every letter comes from the letter you drew, each one slightly different, the lines gently uneven, because that is how handwriting works. NEW IN THIS VERSION β’ Handwritten postcards: a holiday card and a thank-you card, postcard size (100 Γ 148 mm). Add a line or two; the rest is ready. β’ US Letter paper: set automatically in the US, Canada, Mexico, the Philippines, Chile and Colombia. Switch to A4 any time in Settings. β’ PDF, PNG or JPG, or print straight from the app. β’ "Just this document": a one-time purchase that gives you the clean, watermark-free copy of the one document you are working on, on this device. It is not a subscription and it can't be restored. β’ A faster start: after the short intro, the editor opens with a sample letter, and the preview is two taps away. TWO WAYS TO GIVE YOUR HANDWRITING β’ Draw on screen: write the letters with your finger or a stylus. A few minutes. β’ Write on paper, take a photo: print the template sheet, fill the boxes, photograph it from above. You can stop halfway: letters you haven't given yet use the built-in writing. 56 READY-MADE TEMPLATES IN 10 GROUPS School (permission, absence, transfer, exemption, make-up exam, student certificate, leave of absence, grade appeal), work (resignation, leave, unpaid leave, employment letter, salary review, role change, remote work, payslip objection, cover letter, interview thank-you), institutions (complaint, information request, objection, address update, record copy, meeting, personal data, withdrawal), housing (ending a lease, deposit refund, repairs, building management, neighbor letter), money and subscriptions (cancellation, account closure, fee refund, payment plan, billing dispute), health, consumer, traffic and vehicle, postcards (holiday card, thank-you card), personal letters (sympathy, get-well, thank-you for a gift) and a blank letter. YOUR HANDWRITING STAYS ON YOUR PHONE Neither your handwriting nor your letters are sent anywhere. No account, no sign-up. To see which steps work, the app sends anonymous usage events (such as βpreview shownβ) that never contain your name, your text or your handwriting. HOW IT WORKS 1. Write or paste your own text, or pick one of 56 templates 2. Fill in what's needed; for your own text, the recipient and your name are optional 3. See the real page in the preview: free, full page, with a SAMPLE watermark 4. Save it free with the watermark, or get the clean copy with Elyaz Pro or "Just this document" ELYAZ PRO Elyaz Pro gives you clean, watermark-free 300 dpi pages: save, print and share every document as often as you need. Without Pro, all 56 templates, your own text, your own handwriting and the full-page preview stay free, and every PDF, image or printout you make for free carries a SAMPLE watermark. There are no ads. Pro comes as a subscription or as a one-time purchase that never renews. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day free trial; cancel before it ends and you are not charged. The subscription renews automatically; cancel any time from your store account. WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW β’ Elyaz does not sign anything. You sign the printout by hand; a printed image of a signature is not a handwritten signature. β’ Elyaz is not legal advice and cannot guarantee that a letter will be accepted. β’ Elyaz does not create wills. β’ Use only your own handwriting. Imitating someone else's handwriting is a crime. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://vomcore.com/elyaz/privacy
