Writeprint

Writeprint is like a fingerprint that shows who wrote something. Just like how you have unique fingerprints that nobody else in the world has, the way that you write words and sentences is also unique to you.

When you write something, you use specific habits like the way you form your letters, your spacing between words, and your punctuation. These habits create a pattern that is specific to you and nobody else.

Scientists can use technology to analyze these patterns and create a writeprint for each person. By comparing writeprints, they can figure out who wrote something, even if the person tried to hide it or pretend someone else did it.

This technology is helpful in solving crimes or finding out who wrote important documents. So, just like how your fingerprints are unique, your writeprint is also unique and can help people identify you!
