\\alphabetscode.max() is to find the letters coordinates that best matches with the library:
alphabetscode.max()

}
\\Adding the word letter by letter to a file - input.txt:

{
Serial.println(x'[i,t-1],y'[i,t-1]);
Serial mySerial;

   output = createWriter( "input.txt" );
}

         {

              \\To denote the end of the letter in the file:
         }     
         
    }
}
}
\\The letter is added to the file and closed:
while(Enable>0)
void keyPressed() 
{
    output.flush();  // Writes the remaining data to the file
    output.close();  // Finishes the file
    exit();  // Stops the program
}
\\When Enable is 1 the file is closed:
}
