Both turn typed text into handwritten pages for free. TextToHandwriting.com is the quick route: paste, pick a preset style, download. Penmark takes longer to set up, once, because its pages come out in your own handwriting. If any neat handwriting is fine, the quick route may be all you need.
No sign-up, paste text, pick one of its preset styles, download images or a PDF. Hard to beat for speed.
You fill one template and the pages come out in your handwriting, with 3 variations per character.
Penmark covers Hebrew and English together with true right-to-left. TextToHandwriting.com does not list languages.
Both mention math. Penmark lays fractions and radicals out in two dimensions and accepts LaTeX.

Speed and zero setup. There is no template, no photographing, no wait: you paste text, choose a style and download. If the page only needs to look handwritten and nobody will ask whose handwriting it is, that is a real advantage, and for a quick job it will beat us every time. It also offers an Import PDF option, ink color choices and a plain A4 or blank page.
When the handwriting itself matters. A preset style is the same for everyone who picks it. Penmark builds the pages from your own letters, with 3 captured variations per character alternating, so it looks like your page and not a stock style. It also supports Hebrew and English in one sentence, a per-letter editing studio, and 155 characters including Greek letters and math symbols.
If you only want to try the output, Penmark has a no-template route as well: open the tool and a ready-made hand writes a sample page in seconds. For the Hebrew side of the story, see Hebrew handwriting.
