Text Animations

Annotate

Hand-drawn marker notes on a paragraph. Underlines, circles, boxes, highlights, strike-throughs and brackets draw themselves around the words you mark, one after another, when the text first comes into view. If a mark wraps onto the next line, it draws on each line. The shaky strokes come from a seed, so the same seed always draws the same marks. When the layout changes, it measures the text again, so the marks stay on their words.
