Write
Build the page the way you normally would — notes, equations, diagrams, arrows, labels, sketches. LectureGlyph quietly remembers the order of every mark.
Coming soon for iPad
LectureGlyph remembers not just what you put on the page, but the order you put it there — so you can build an explanation once, in your own hand, and walk your audience through it step by step.
“Your handwriting does not simply sit on the page as a finished image. It becomes something you can teach with.”
— from the LectureGlyph manual
The idea
Build the page the way you normally would — notes, equations, diagrams, arrows, labels, sketches. LectureGlyph quietly remembers the order of every mark.
Place pause points between the ideas you want to keep separate. A pause point is a decision about pacing — a place where the explanation breathes.
Present live, or record a video. The page returns from blank, piece by piece, in the sequence you built it — and waits at every pause point while you teach.
Demo
An early demonstration of handwriting, timing, pause points, and playback working together as one lesson.
Why one idea at a time
When a full page of notes appears all at once, attention scatters. People read ahead, look sideways, and guess at which part matters now. Revealing one piece at a time gives attention a path: the audience sees the part you are talking about, and the rest waits its turn.
A slide deck moves between finished screens. LectureGlyph is built around the history of your work — the line being drawn, the label arriving after the diagram, the answer appearing only after the reasoning has earned it. The breaks fall where the thinking naturally breaks, not only where one slide ends and the next begins.

Draft manual
The draft manual is already underway — the Library, pages, pause points, the drawing palette, the timeline, building a lesson, and recording, all in plain language. It is a working draft, but it gives early readers a real sense of what LectureGlyph is becoming.
