14 DAY TRIAL // Personal presents or letters always seem a lot more personal and endearing when they are handwritten instead of typed. At least as long as your handwriting isn't too horrid anyway.
However, paperwork has become so bad that man has to get everything typed just to deal with the flow of files, faxes, requests, notices, letters of various kinds, etc.
Normally, people have no issue writing a letter by hand when they only do it once a week, or every other day.
However, if you, say, are getting ready for a wedding and want to write all invitations by hand, things might get really hectic and tedious.
That is where the Bond robot comes in. Not James Bond, though I am certain he could replicate other peoples' handwriting well enough.
That is the purpose of the robot, as it happens. To write well-wish cards and letters to people in your own handwriting, but with cool pens and stationery.
The Bond robot is not up for sale, but it has been made part of a website you can access for an initial payment of $199 / €175, then $2.99 / €2.63 per card.
You go to the Bond website (or Fast Company) and submit a sample of your handwriting first. Bond's software analyzes it and allows you to thereafter select a card and type a text you want sent to any recipient. The Bond website will mail a real letter to the address you put in.
Currently, there are 11 Bond robots available, but the number might grow if the service gains any sort of popularity.
