Handwriting analysis software: Patsy and the Note

New Posts

Have spent a bit of time today on various graphology websites.

Shout out to the sith,

I found it a coincidence that all three samples would score at such a limited range within the 120 points.

I applied the program to 300 word samples from various postings on the JBR thread and found a greater range of scores of 'readability' among individuals.
 
TY Tadpole - that's`excellent practical research.
