Questions

Is it free?

Yes. Type, download and print as much as you like; there is no account and no watermark.

How long can the text be?

Up to 20 words. Press Enter to start a new line; longer lines wrap on their own.

Can I make a tracing worksheet?

Choose “Dotted, to trace” and print. The text comes out as grey dots on handwriting lines, ready to write over in pencil.

Which cursive style is it?

The Hershey script, a classic joined hand close to the cursive taught in US schools. Some capitals differ from Zaner-Bloser and D’Nealian.

Can I use the image?

Yes, the pictures you make are yours to use, in class, on cards or anywhere else.

What about accents and symbols?

Accents are dropped (é becomes e). Letters, numbers and everyday punctuation are written; other characters are left out.
