Easy Writer 1.0 was simple and fun way for kids to view animations of the letters being drawn with correct stroke and rhythm, and even try to imitate them on screen. Easy Writer 2.12 was colorized up and jazzed up. Easy Writer 3.0 was a dog so you probably never saw it. Easy Writer 3.5 is bilingual (Spanish/English), incorporates cursive, has digits, and allows you to edit the alphabets.
Easy Writer 2.0:
･ it has been two-year-old proofed. The finder background is hidden so
inadvertently clicking off the window will not get the user into the finder.
･ hitting an alphabet key now causes the letters to draw.
･ on color machines the background is color primary paper. You remember... with the red and
blue lines.
･ You now have an "I-beam" so you can set the insertion point
･ letters are proportionally spaced
･ You can switch it into ﾒblackboardﾓ mode (black background and white ﾒchalkﾓ)
･ Tool and Pattern palettes are displayed for a great variety of options
･ menus customized
･ drawing sound plays synchronous with drawing strokes
･ optionally says the letters!
Easy Writer 2.12
･ some minor bugs fixed
Easy Writer 3.5 boasts the following improvements:
･ Site License $75 (roughly equal to 8 users) and covers all locations for your organization within a 10 kilometer radius of your site. One big advantage of a Site License is that you do not need to keep track of how many people at your site are using the software.
･ A World-Wide License costs $500 and it covers all locations for your organization on the planet earth.
Paying for Easy Writer is easy. The fastest way is to go to
go to http://order.kagi.com/?QE4&S and register securely right on line. Or, Open the Register program that accompanies Easy Writer. Enter your name, your email address, and the number of single user licenses you desire for each program you wish to purchase (or Site or Word-Wide licenses). Save or Copy or Print the data from the Register program and send the data and payment to Kagi. More specifics on the Register program to follow. Kagi handles my payment processing.
If paying with Credit Card, you can email or fax the data to Kagi. Their email address is sales@kagi.com and their fax number is +1 510 652-6589. You can either Copy the data from Register and paste into the body of an email message or you can Save the data to a file and you can attach that file to an email message. There is no need to compress the data file, it's already pretty small. If you have a fax modem, just Print the data to the Kagi fax number.
Payments sent via email are processed within 3 to 4 days. You will receive an email acknowledgement when it is processed. Payments sent via fax take up to 10 days and if you provide a correct internet email address you will receive an email acknowledgement.
If you are paying with Cash or USD Check you should print the data using the Register application and send it to the address shown on the form, which is:
Kagi
1442-A Walnut Street #392-QE4
Berkeley, California 94709-1405
USA
You can pay with a wide variety of cash from different countries but at present if you pay via check, it must be drawn in US Dollars. Kagi cannot accept checks in other currencies, the conversion rate for non-USD checks is around US$15 per check and that is impractical.
If you have a purchasing department, you can enter all the data into the Register program and then select Invoice as your payment method. Print three copies of the form and send it to your accounts payable people. You might want to highlight the line that mentions that they must include a copy of the form with their payment. Kagi can not invoice your company, you need to generate the invoice and handle all the paperwork on your end.
Please do not fax or email payment forms that indicate Cash, Check or Invoice as the payment method. As far as we know, there is still no technology to transfer physical objects via fax or email and without the payment, the form cannot be processed.
Payments send via postal mail take time to reach Kagi and then up to 10 days for processing. Again, if you include a correct email address, you will hear from Kagi when the form is processed.
Protection
Only part of Easy Writer will work if you do not pay for it. When you pay, we give you a personalized code to unlock all the features. If you do not have an email address, please enter your complete postal address and please remember, we do not know what country you live in so please enter that into the postal address also.
