Common Questions About Using Stylograph in Advancement

Discover how our AI handwritten notes create real connections at scale, with heart.

What makes Stylograph notes feel real?

You capture your handwriting once, drawing your letters and numbers on your phone or tablet, and a pen plotter writes every note in that handwriting. Every message is written with a real pen on real paper, never printed in a cursive font.

Can I use my own handwriting?

Yes. You capture your own handwriting once, on your phone, and your notes are written in it.

How does fulfillment work?

A pen plotter writes your approved message in your handwriting, in real ink on premium cardstock, and addresses the envelope, or the Postcard itself, in your handwriting with a real first-class stamp. We mail it within two business days of your approval, or ship the finished cards to you if you choose that in the Note Composer.

Is my data and handwriting secure?

Your privacy is our priority. Handwriting samples and messages are confidential, never reused without consent, and protected by industry-standard security. Your words and your style stay yours.
