The Philadelphia Inquirer · A generation of Americans never learned cursive. So Philly historians are teaching AI to transcribe it.By Mike Newall

I have been having great fun taking #Japanese hiragana and making a #cursive #alphabet #conscript with it! It is very loopy and fun to write. I included characters for some common words (the, and, and so on) and also some letter abbreviations, etc. It gives me a writing outlet at work without roman letters jumping into people's eyeballs. I was using #Tendrilis, and I still love it, but I wanted a cursive option. I've already written pages and pages and am very pleased with my new alphabet toy.

Don’t tell me they don’t teach #cursive in school. 2017 when D2 was 10.

Also, do not tell me they cannot read it, because she could read it before she was writing it.

Works well on my Lenovo Yoga :> This gives me a reason to actually upgrade the memory and fix the chasis, because I technically have a wacom touchscreen... believe it or not.

Also.. I remember cursive o.O #CURSIVE!!

This post not sponsored by the Goji(?) stylus, but it should be :) And this is the point where I realise Goji is just another China brand and it was mass produced for 50 cent, though I paid $14 for it at the local store lol.
