Handwrytten, a Tempe‑based firm, has built custom robots that can produce up to 30,000 handwritten letters each day. The service, used by groups such as the American Cancer Society of Arizona and busy parents sending camp letters, promises the personal touch of a human pen at a fraction of the traditional cost.

Each robot features multiple pen holders and software that varies pressure and stroke to mimic authentic handwriting, according to the company’s description. The machines handle everything from writing the message to addressing envelopes, stamping, and mailing, allowing Handwrytten to scale a service that once required a team of scribes.
