NeoShoDo

About

NeoShoDo helps you practice handwriting one stroke at a time. Trace real print and pre-cursive letterforms over dashed stroke-order guides. Watch a quick demo of how each letter is written, then trace it yourself — NeoShoDo scores every stroke on shape and direction, so you learn correct letter formation, not just the shape. A NOTE ON THE CURSIVE The joined alphabet here is pre-cursive, the style taught before full cursive: print letter shapes with joining flicks, and simplified capitals. It is not looped copperplate or Palmer: pre-cursive is the bridge most schools teach first, and mixing a looped capital into unlooped lowercase looks wrong inside a word. Best with a stylus. A finger can trace a shape, but grip and pen control only come from holding something — and those are what carry over to writing on paper. An Apple Pencil on iPad comes closest to pen on paper. A finger works fine, and nothing here is locked behind hardware. • Print and pre-cursive letters, plus numbers 0–9 • Watch-then-trace: a guided demo shows the stroke order, with numbered start and end points and an animated hint line • Master each letter with a five-in-a-row drill before moving on • Free practice: trace whole words and famous sentences on ruled paper • Choose your paper (three-line, two-line, four-line, slant, single) and a handwriting font for free practice • Twelve typefaces to trace in free practice, including flowing connected cursive faces • Full Apple Pencil support with Apple's native tools — pen, pencil, marker, crayon, colors, and an eraser • Light, dark, sepia, and automatic themes • Your progress syncs across your devices when you sign in Try it free with no account, then sign in with Apple or Google to save your progress.
