Documentation – Asemic Writing Generator
What is Asemic writing?
Asemic writing is an open (wordless) semantic form of writing combined with symbols.
The similar works leave the reader the option to decide how to translate, to interpret
and explore a similar text; In this sense, the reader becomes the co-creator of the asemic work.
Asemic writing can become a decorative art and / or used as a relaxing activity.

Instructions and suggestions for mobile device users.
Although this web application is NOT designed for mobile devices (tablet, smartphone) we have tried as much as possible to offer the same functionality of the web app.
Touch screen – use the pen or finger to draw in Canvas.
Download. To download the image to your mobile/tablet use one of the PNG or JPG buttons. During my test on iPhone I was able to download the project as a document in the Documents folder (directory) on my device but I had to rename the downloaded file to document.JPG or document.PNG …. basically I added the image extension (.PNG or .JPG) so I could see the image.
The size of the downloaded image depends on the screen size of your device.
