Convert typed text to realistic handwriting!
npm install --save handwritten.js
const handwritten = require('handwritten.js')
const fs = require('fs')
handwritten("Hello, world!").then((converted) => {
converted.pipe(fs.createWriteStream('output.pdf'))
})
npx handwritten.js "relative/path/to/file.txt"
Note: Use this method only if you plan to use handwritten.js for one time, installing handwritten.js globally (see-below) is recommended for multiple time usages.
npm install handwritten.js -g
Note: DO NOT use sudo to install global packages! The correct way is to tell npm where to install its global packages:
npm config set prefix ~/.local
. Make sure~/.local/bin
is added toPATH
.
handwritten.js "/absolute/path/to/file.txt"
handwritten.js path/to/input.txt path/to/output.pdf
The second argument is optional. If not specified, the output pdf will be saved as output.pdf
in the current directory.
await handwritten(inputText, outputType)
The second argument is optional. If not specified, it will default to "pdf". Supported output types are: "pdf", "jpeg/buf", "jpeg/b64", "png/buf" and "png/b64". If the output type is set to "pdf", it returns a promise that will resolve in a pdfkit document instance. Else it will return a promise that will resolve in an array containing the buffer or base64 value of the images according to the output type you provided.

handwritten.js only supports English letters. I am not planning to add support for other languages for now. Please do not make issues about this. However, I will merge pull requests if any.
