Guided tracing practice for letters, words and sentences. Post-stroke handwriting rehabilitation designed for adults relearning a skill they once had — with real language-specific content in 17 languages.
Guided tracing practice for letters, words and sentences — with language-specific content for the scripts people actually write in. Designed for adults recovering from stroke or neurological injury who need to rebuild fine motor control, letter formation, and writing fluency.
Trace individual letters with on-screen guides showing stroke order and direction. Language-specific: Welsh, Arabic, Japanese kana, Korean hangul, Chinese characters, Hindi Devanagari and more
Common words in each language — not English words translated. Welsh words for Welsh users. Arabic words for Arabic users
Full sentences at your own pace, building towards connected writing
Accuracy scores and session history you can share with your therapist
Most handwriting apps teach children to write for the first time. ReWrite is built for adults recovering from stroke or neurological injury who need to rebuild fine motor control, letter formation, and writing fluency. The content, scoring, and progression are designed for rehabilitation — not education. Welsh users trace Welsh letters and write Welsh words. Japanese users practise hiragana and katakana with correct stroke order. Arabic users write right-to-left with Arabic-specific content.
Whether you're rebuilding fine motor control or regaining confidence with a pen
A structured home practice tool to recommend between clinical sessions, with progress tracking you can review together
Including brain injury, Parkinson's, and other conditions affecting handwriting
A supportive, guided way to practise that doesn't require clinical training
Handwriting recovery takes time and consistent practice. Most rehabilitation programmes recommend daily practice of 10–15 minutes. ReWrite is designed for exactly this kind of steady repetition.
Start with individual letters, where guides show you the correct stroke order and direction. As your control improves, move to words and sentences. The scoring is deliberately forgiving — it rewards effort and consistency over perfection.
ReWrite is a wellness support tool — not a medical device. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Always follow the guidance of your occupational therapist or rehabilitation team.
Children's handwriting apps teach letter formation to children learning to write for the first time. ReWrite is built for adults relearning a skill they once had. The difference matters.
ReWrite uses adult vocabulary and sentence content, supports 17 languages including Chinese and Japanese character tracing with correct stroke order, has a forgiving scoring system designed for neurological recovery rather than school assessment, and includes progress tracking that you can share with your therapist.
Language-specific letter sets, words and sentences. Not just translated menus
Full support for Japanese and Chinese character tracing with correct stroke order
Control guide visibility, letter size, and complexity to match your current ability
Designed to encourage practice, not penalise imperfection
Comfortable practice in low-light settings or for users with light sensitivity
No internet connection needed after download
ReWrite's approach is grounded in established principles of motor rehabilitation and stroke recovery. Repetitive task-specific practice — the foundation of handwriting rehabilitation — has strong evidence across the neurological literature.
ReWrite provides structured tracing practice using principles from the graphomotor rehabilitation literature. The emphasis on repetitive, task-specific practice aligns with the strongest evidence in stroke motor rehabilitation (Langhorne et al., 2011).
No. ReWrite is a wellness support tool designed to complement professional rehabilitation. It does not diagnose, treat, or cure any condition. Always use it alongside guidance from your occupational therapist or care team. Stop using it if symptoms worsen and speak to your rehabilitation team.
