Hacker News: handwritinghttps://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=handwritingHacker News RSShttps://hnrss.org/hnrss v2.1.1Mon, 15 Jun 2026 22:18:22 +0000<![CDATA[New comment by handwriting in "Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)"]]>My 8 year old son has pretty poor handwriting which is affecting his exams. I bought him handwriting notebooks to practice but I could not really point where / what to improve ("try harder" / "make it neater" didn't help :) )

Out of curiosity, I tried using AI for help by scanning the paper and the feedback for improvement was quite good (definitely better than mine). So I created an Android app for this (no iphone for now): you write on paper, take a picture and get feedback on what to improve
