The task of decoding a departed relative's handwriting on recipes, letters, and calendar notes.
The scriptdecipher works from context, partial strokes, and one surviving sibling's memory of how she made the 'g'. Successes are photographed and celebrated; failures are cooked anyway. The skill dies with the decipher, hence the photographing.
Etym. — script + decipher — the handwriting as an unbroken code whose keyholder is gone.
