Possibilities of Studying Handwritten Document Requisites Made Using Special Programs and Technical Means

Abstract

The article considers possibilities of forensic analysis of copies of handwritten documents made using pseudo-handwritten fonts. The authors offer the definition and classification of such fonts. They also highlight the features characterizing certain ways of forging handwritten requisites of documents with the help of pseudo-handwritten fonts.The article presents some techniques and methods allowing to establish the facts of performing certain requisites of documents in a non-handwritten way. The authors also describe the mechanism of creating a pseudo-handwritten font based on a specific person’s handwriting, as well as the possibilities of applying graphical editors to create handwritten document requisites impersonating a certain performer using the samples of his handwriting. Based on the example of the software implemented in the robotic arm Dobot Magician, the procedure of creating a text imitating a handwritten one has been studied.
