Do you want to know how it works? Here's how to recognize script fonts easily with MyFonts.

How to recognize writing fonts with MyFonts

Lets start by the beginning. If you want to recognize script fonts or typefaces with MyFonts, you'll first need to download the app. In the event that you access through Android, all you have to do is click here to start the download.If you have an iPhone, you will have to do it from this section of the App Store. And now we can start.

1. Open the MyFonts application. As soon as you start it, the tool will ask you for permission to access your camera. Both photos and recordings. Click OK and continue.

2. Then the camera will be activated. And now you can start taking photos. Choose the source you want to photograph and aim the camera well Make sure the source is as straight as possible. To do this, you will have to take the photo at a right angle. Press the shoot button.

3. Frame the image as you need. It's not difficult. It is about the letters being as straight as possible, so that the system can identify them correctly. Use the selector that you see at the top to place the letters well.If you want, you can also rotate the photo, using the rotate icons on the left and right.

4. Set the selector to the letters. Make sure you set the box to the area you are interested in. You just have to pinch what you need. Click on the blue arrow to continue.

The results of writing sources

When you're done, what will appear on the screen are the results. You will see that the MyFonts application provides you with a series of suggestions close to the font whose name you wanted to find out. What you will probably see are three or four similar fonts.

Then you can choose the one you like best. And if you want to use it in any of your projects, all you have to do is find it and install it in the program you need.

Unfortunately, the application lacks a section that is essential for us. A repository containing previously consulted sources. So you can always retrieve the source you are interested in.

An option, quite useful by the way, is to share the link with the source result. You can save it in your favorite notes application Or also send it by email, share it through a number of messaging apps or even on social networks.

If you want to check other fonts, you should know that you can also do it through the desktop version of this same tool, MyFonts. It's also free. All you will need is to upload the image. You will get the same results and you can save them on your own computer.
