Many blind or visually impaired people are not familiar with the shapes of printed letters or numbers. DoItWrite teaches you how to draw them in a simple way that has the best chance of being correctly recognized by VoiceOver, even if you have never learned the shapes of the characters previously. Once you get them down, practice your speed and accuracy with a fun game to blast characters as they tumble down the screen!

Great App
Needing help with a couple of punctuation symboals
I spoke to the draconis folks
Worth a try but needs punc
I really, really appreciate this app and I KNOW how to write my letters and numbers.
Anyone who thinks they don't need this app, I encourage them to try it anyway and see if it won't improve your writing recognition rate.
It's one shortcoming, and I think it is a major one, is that it doesn't cover punctuation. I'm new to iOS and I ran into this the other day. How does iOS want the comma, right paren, and apostrophe differentiated?
I sure hope this is added in the near future
