The Relationship Between Handwriting Style and Speed and Legibility
The Journal of Educational Research, 1998The relationship between handwriting style and handwriting speed and legibility was investigated. Three samples of writing (narrative, expository, and copying) were collected from 600 students in Grades 4-9. The copying task provided a measure of handwriting speed, and all 3 writing samples were scored for handwriting style (manuscript, cursive, mixed ...

CHI '03 extended abstracts on Human factors in computer systems - CHI '03, 2003
We describe the application of a pen model, and sub-pixel addressing (ClearPen), to render handwriting on an LCD display. This technique is shown to improve the legibility of handwriting. ClearPen can increase the viability of working with handwriting on a computer. This has direct significance to TabletPC applications such as note taking or annotating
