Why the letters are faint
Each box shows its letter as a light grey shape, the way the tracing sheets in first grade worked, so you never guess how big to write or where to sit the letter. It is printed light enough that the camera ignores it and only sees your ink. That is also why the pen matters: the app tells ink from paper by darkness, so a pale thin ballpoint is the one thing that reliably breaks a letter.
What is on the sheet
Every capital, every lowercase letter, the ten digits, and the ten punctuation marks that break a sentence when they are missing. A few marks are built from the ones you wrote, so a semicolon is your comma under your period and you never draw one. The four corner squares are how the app finds and straightens the page in your photo, so keep all four in the frame.
The full walkthrough, pen advice included, is in how to turn your handwriting into a font with one photo.
