draw your own words. draw to text.

I have created a simple draw to text program.  rather than using the keyboard you can write by drawing a letter in a box and the program works out what letter it is (quite accurately).
I would love feedback.This is the link.

Great. Sometimes it was a wrong better but it worked pretty well.

Character recognition comes to Scratch!  Incredible!

When you try it out I recommend that you enter lower-case letters, not upper case letters like I did.  It's much happier with lower case!

yes you will need to use lower case.  you may find it interesting to download and even remix it to see if you can make it more accurate or even have Capital letters.
