"Scribe" - service for the lazy students who can transcribe notes

If you often have to while away the night of meaningless copying lecture notes in a notebook, we have good news for you: the more it does not have to do. Service "Scribe" translated printed text in the manuscript, and you will only have to print.

Today, many of us have almost forgotten how to write by hand. Good or bad - it does not matter. The fact remains that modern people typing on your phone faster than the time to realize it. But there are some areas of our lives that if progress bypassed. Unfortunately, one of them - education. Some university professors still make students take coursework, or notes in handwritten form. By itself, generation it delivers digital literally physical pain.

Let the pundits go on about the benefits of handwriting. Hungry and always enough sleep freshman not prove that by rewriting manually tens of thousands of characters, it is better to remember the material. When the exam to remain a matter of hours, and to obtain access to it - 20 blank notebook sheet, no time to think about self development. survival time. In this difficult task will help the "Scribe".

Teacher asked to make a summary of the textbook? No problem. We look for it in electronic form, and simply copy the text in the "Scribe". We need to pass the essay or coursework, written by hand? Internet and copy-paste to help you. Forced to rewrite the lecture? Here ambush. We'll have to type manually, but it's still faster than writing pen.

Anyway. For what other purposes to use the "Scribe", and you can guess. Let's see how it works.

Service represents two workspaces. First, we introduce the printed text, handwritten in the second we get. Due to the fact that the "scribe" is in beta test, there is no ability to format the text, but in the future we plan to add highlight color, alignment, and underscores. Also, users will select the Handwriting option. Now there is only one option, which is called "Catherine". Later on it added another four kinds, as well as, probably, it will be possible to add your own handwriting.

Regarding the translation of the text, it happens quite smoothly. Service understands Cyrillic, Latin, lists and formulas, as well as the most frequently used characters. Problems can arise only with a few characters. Instead, the "scribe" draws a very indecent pictures. Not friendly, he also with graphs and tables. So that engineering students have to think through in advance space for graphic elements and add them manually already.

The default output window manuscripts executed in standard sizes of A5 format notebook sheet in view of the fields. If your entire text does not fit into this framework, you will have to insert it in pieces, each time keeping the page to disk or immediately sent to print, which, however, does not work. Thus, at the output you get a very realistic handwritten text with blots and different font style of the same letters.

The only difficulty in working with the "Scribe" is printed. Firstly, you have to carefully disassemble the notebook to sheets so that after it was possible to put them back. Secondly, we must be very careful not to confuse the sequence of pages to print.

In general, while "Scribe" is still not ideal student life hacking. But it is likely that for the winter session, it will deserve the title. The fact that the service development is carried out already in 2013 by a single enthusiast and started talking about the project just now. So it is quite possible that the sudden elated HYIP author of "Scribe" Valery Levchenko sacrifice for the good of their own laziness laziness and all the rest will release the finished product in the foreseeable future.

By the way, if you have a desire to stimulate the developer can put him at the expense of any amount. Widget for donations is at the bottom service page.
