Methods and systems for converting text into natural personal handwriting are provided. One aspect relates to the training of a computer to recognize a user's handwriting style. In one embodiment, the computer receives handwriting samples of at least one character written by the user, such as the character being provided as the beginning, middle, or ending character among a plurality of other characters. Further embodiments allow for increased personalization of the handwriting. Another aspect relates to system and methods for displaying a representation of a computer user's handwriting. In one embodiment, the handwriting comprises variant shapes of letters, personalized connection style between letters, and connection parts that look pressure-sensitive. In another embodiment, characters are adjusted, such as cutting portions of the character to create a more realistic recreation and synthesis of the handwriting.
