What a Difference a Year Makes!
We've had an amazing year here at PointScribe, moving---no, more like rocketing!---from our original version of PointScribe to its current version that takes handwriting education to an unprecedented level of effectiveness and engagement.
We're ending 2011 with a completely different PointScribe than we started it with.
PointScribe Tutor
PointScribe Tutor: innovative artificial intelligence that automatically advances the skill level of each and every shape for you! Handwriting accuracy and completion performance goals are set by the educator; PointScribe Tutor takes care of everything else. The lessons begin with large, easy to complete shape sizes. Each time the student writes a shape, Tutor gathers and analyzes handwriting data. When the student's handwriting proficiency meets the success goals set, PointScribe uses that data to automatically advance her on to the next challenge level (smaller shape size).
Visual Cue Advancement
PointScribe lessons include visual cues that are fun, engaging, and instructive---gently and consistently guiding students through the formation of shapes. PointScribe reinforces newfound skills by systematically removing the start and stop point visual cues and the stroke sequence visual cues, ultimately leading the student to write every letter, number, and shape properly and consistently from memory. Visual Cue Advancement happens automatically and is based on data driven factors and other teaching options set by you.
Enhanced Reporting & Data Collection
PointScribe's powerful database generates six easy to interpret Handwriting Proficiency Reports that can be created in seconds. The reports provide a wealth of valuable handwriting information for accurate analysis, assessments, and intervention. Reports for students or classrooms, print and email easily for sharing.

Classroom Mode
Teaching handwriting to the entire classroom has never been more "automated" and easy! Classroom mode monitors and manages the amount of PointScribe time for each student. With a few clicks, you can launch a lesson for an entire classroom! PointScribe is like having another teacher in the classroom, specializing in handwriting, and freeing up time for the teacher to continue working with the other students.

Mastery Status & Tracking
The Mastery Tracking & Status feature serves a dual purpose in PointScribe. For students, Mastery Status provides a visual display of which shapes they have succeeded in completely mastering in each shape library, and their overall progress toward mastering all shapes. Printable certificates are also available. Behind the scenes, it focuses on the learning experience. When Mastery Status is enabled, it automatically removes shapes that have been mastered from any lesson content presented. The student is only presented with shapes not yet completely mastered.
