 # Text2Pen
 
-Text2Pen is a Windows tool that converts typed text into handwritten-style input directly inside Microsoft OneNote.
+Text2Pen converts typed text into handwritten-style mouse input.
+It is built for Microsoft OneNote on Windows and also supports Linux-based drawing workflows.
 
 ---
 
 ## 🖊️ What is Text2Pen?
 
-Text2Pen lets you type any text and have it automatically "written" into OneNote as handwritten ink — no stylus required.
-It is especially useful for students, note-takers, and anyone who wants the aesthetic of handwritten notes without the effort.
+Text2Pen lets you type text and have it drawn as handwriting strokes.
+You train characters once, then reuse your handwriting profile for normal text and tab-separated tables.

-## ✨ Why is it cool?
+## ✨ Features
 
-- **Type, don't write** — produce handwritten-looking notes at typing speed
-- **OneNote integration** — output goes directly into your open OneNote page
-- **Table support** — paste tab-separated content and it is inserted as a table
-- **AI sidebar** — chat assistant with image-upload support built right into the app *(backend temporarily unavailable — see Limitations)*
-- **Automatic updates** — the updater keeps Text2Pen and itself up to date silently in the background, with SHA-256 hash verification for every download
-- **Privacy-first** — completely offline by default; optional anonymous telemetry is opt-in only
+- **Text → handwriting** with your own trained character strokes
+- **Table drawing** from tab-separated input
+- **Cross-platform binaries** for Windows, Linux x86_64, and Linux arm64
