Abstract: A method and apparatus for quantifying graphic features of handwriting, and a system for organizing and reporting analysis results, thereby enabling objective research and evaluation of handwriting. The system includes a standardized list of quantifiable handwriting Features wherein each Feature has a unique alphanumeric reference code; and a standardized list of one or more Sub-features tied to a Feature wherein each Sub-feature is a measurement of the Feature to which it is tied, the measurement resulting in a value for the Sub-feature, and each Sub-feature has a unique alphanumeric reference code. A Feature String is a string of one or more Sub-feature values for uniquely identifying one or more characteristics of the handwriting sample and optionally includes mathematical operations on or between the one or more Sub-feature values. The apparatus is a computer that automates the process of measuring and reporting the handwriting analysis results.
