Documentation

Learn how to turn your handwriting into a digital font and use it to annotate your favorite books and documents.

Getting Started

Lazyhand is designed to be intuitive. To get started, you'll need two main things:

An image of your handwriting (or the handwriting you want to digitize).
A document you want to annotate (PDF or EPUB), or you can just export the font itself.

Once you have these, you can create a new project from your dashboard.

Creating Fonts

Font Training Wizard

The wizard walks you through uploading your handwriting in four character groups. Each step has a built-in crop tool so you can frame exactly the right area. Supported formats: JPG, PNG, JPEG.

Step 0 — Name Your Font

Give your font a unique name before uploading. This is how it appears in the editor and on your dashboard.

Step 1 — Lowercase Letters (a–z)

Upload a clear photo of all 26 lowercase letters written in order. The built-in crop tool lets you frame just the characters.

Step 2 — Uppercase Letters (A–Z)

Upload a separate photo of A through Z. Keep spacing consistent for best AI recognition.

Step 3 — Numbers (0–9)

Upload your numerals. Clear contrast on a plain background gives the AI the most accurate segmentation.

Step 4 — Special Characters (!@#$%^&*())

Upload the 10 special characters. These complete your full character set.

Verification

After all four uploads, the AI maps each character and presents a verification screen where you can correct any misidentified characters before training begins.

Tip: Ensure good lighting and clear contrast for best results.

Graphology Report

After your font finishes training, Lazyhand automatically generates a Graphology Report — a personality analysis based on your handwriting. No extra steps required.

What Gets Analyzed

Four metrics are extracted from your handwriting: letter slant, character size, word spacing, and stroke variability.

Personality Archetype

Your metrics produce an archetype label such as "The Visionary", "The Architect", "The Free Spirit", "The Life of the Party", or "The Realist".

Three Trait Cards

The full report shows your Emotion style (Expressive vs. Logical), Confidence level (High vs. Modest), and Social orientation (Independent vs. Connected).

Share as Image

Export your personality report as a PNG. On mobile, the native share sheet is used. On desktop, the image is copied to clipboard or downloaded.

A compact version of your report is visible on the dashboard next to each completed font. Click it to expand to the full view.

Downloading Fonts

Once a font has finished training, you can download it as a standard .TTF file and install it on any computer or import it into design tools.

Pro Subscribers

All your fonts are auto-unlocked on the Pro plan. Click the Download button on any completed font in your dashboard.

Individual Unlock

Free tier users can unlock a single font for a one-time payment of $7. The Unlock button appears in place of Download on the dashboard for locked fonts.

Free Tier Exports

Exports from the book editor on the free plan include a watermark. Upgrade to Pro for clean, watermark-free exports.

Tip: The Download button only appears when a font's status is "completed". Fonts still processing or in verification will not have a download option yet.

Annotating Books

Import your eBooks (EPUB) or documents (PDF) into Lazyhand. The editor allows you to:

Overlay Text

Type directly onto the pages using your custom handwriting font.

Export

Download the annotated pages or the entire document with your notes embedded.

Cheat Sheet Generator

PRO

How It Works

Access the Cheat Sheet tool inside any book editor project. It condenses selected pages into a printable index card written in your handwriting font.

1. Select Pages

Choose which pages of your document you want summarized. Only the pages you select are sent to the AI.

2. AI Draft Generation

Gemini reads the selected pages and generates a condensed summary draft for both the front and back of the card.

3. Edit Front & Back

The draft lands in a two-sided editor. Switch between the Front and Back tabs to refine the content. A character counter shows how much space remains.

4. Adjust Density

The density slider (0–100) controls how tightly text is packed onto the card. Lower values leave more breathing room; higher values fit more content.

5. Export as PDF

Choose your card size — 3×5 or 4×6 inch — then export. Your custom handwriting font is embedded directly in the PDF.

6. Save & Load Drafts

Drafts are saved per-project. Reload a previous cheat sheet at any time from the same panel.

The Cheat Sheet Generator is available exclusively to Pro subscribers. Free users see a locked state with an upgrade prompt inside the editor.
