HandScript — Handwriting animation generator

Turn any font into a handwriting animation video

Problem

Creating handwriting animations usually requires manual frame-by-frame drawing or complex software, which is tedious and unfriendly to non-designers. Teachers, content creators, and marketers often need this effect but lack simple tools.

Solution

HandScript extracts glyph skeletons from any font and matches them with known stroke orders (Hershey, KanjiVG) to generate a renderable handwriting animation format. Users type text, pick a font and style, then export video or embed SVG/Canvas animation.

Users

Teachers, online course creators, social media marketers, indie designers.

MVP

Upload TTF/OTF and extract skeleton; match basic stroke-order library; generate simple handwriting animation; export MP4 or GIF; web editor to adjust speed and thickness.

Revenue

Freemium: free exports with watermark, paid one-time or subscription for watermark removal, HD export, commercial license.

Why now

Short video and online education demand is exploding, and handwriting animation is a common attention grabber; indie developers can build on open stroke-order data.
