Abstract
A computer system operable in two modes for creating and selectively reproducing an individual's handwriting allows a user to produce text such as by word processing and display that text in their own handwriting. In a Create mode, the user separately inputs the characters of a character set in their own handwriting into a computer system. The input characters are then stored in a memory of the computer system. Each store character is associated with a key stroke on a keyboard. In a Reproduce mode, a desired character of the character set can be reproduced in the individual's handwriting by actuating the key stroke on the keyboard associated with the desired character.
