Abstract
A writing device for storing handwriting picks up a handwriting which is written on a paper using a lead, using a CCD area sensor by a predetermined sampling frequency, then stores the picked up image data by the storing device under the control of a microcomputer, so that data storing which data are effective for reproducing the handwriting using a comparatively simple program, is achieved.
