## Handwriting Keyboard Reviews in Australia

### ****- "The ability to enlarge the font size."
I work with children with vision impairment.  Is there anyway of enlarging the text font size? I can using magnification in a window but natively changing the font size would be amazing.  Cheers
-- Graestoke, 2024-05-28

### ****- "Good functionality but fuzzy writing."
This app is near perfect for my needs. The only thing I would want different is a clearer more ink like writing graphic. As it is now, it like like what you have written has been written with a pencil. An option for smoother, clearer, writing style would get this app 5 stars from me.
-- Shunarjuna, 2021-06-12

### ***-- "Very Ordinary"
Not a bad layout, but it has a huge shortcoming, no scrolling.
At the end of each line, you have to hit the return key.
Like using a typewriter.
In this day and age, that’s just not good enough, especially as other comparable apps have solved the problem.
-- Anthonyve, 2020-07-08

### ****- "Brilliant concept!"
I have been trying out all of the handwriting programs. None get both elements right, 1) handwriting recognition and 2) the interface or what you are writing into or onto. This program gets as close as you can to that integration as you handwrite into the  program you like using. It’s still a work in progress but stand an excellent chance of being baked into the iOS if it keeps being fine tuned. 

At present its still quicker to use the keyboard.

Suggestions. The dictionary autocorrect is not that grammar sensitive, so error recognition rarely finds the correct alternatives to offer if a letter mucks up the word. Nonsensical words after recognition shouldn’t even appear on the screen as ‘’recognised”. The pop up screen that offers alternative suggestions, still offers nonsensical words and too many options. Get rid of non- dictionary alternatives and that list might offer up more correct options. 

It occasionally crashed my ipad mini. program.

For free program this is astonishing, please keep going with this please.

### ***-- "Great handwriting keyboard with one flaw"
I want to give this keyboard 5 Stars because it has the best functionality on the app store. But the resolution of the handwriting is HORRIBLE. I don&#039;t understand why it is so bad. Surely this should be easy to fix.
-- insecurejezza, 2020-05-10

### ***-- "Needs to be set to the right keyboard."
Not all key boards have the globe key to switch keyboards. The App works well once the keyboard rs changed to handwriting.
-- LucDam471, 2019-09-28

### ****- "Nice and accurate Japanese input method"
Good, accurate handwriting recognition that politely stays inside the keyboard sandbox.
One suggestion for a future version is to allow scrolling while writing (particularly for iPhone).
