Handwriting to Text
Handwriting is genuinely hard for machines — far harder than printed text. This does a careful job on neat, separated letters and block capitals, and tells you when the result is too uncertain to trust rather than inventing words.

Questions
How accurate is it on cursive?
Poor, honestly. Joined-up cursive is beyond what this engine does well. Neat printed letters and block capitals work far better.
How do I get the best result?
Flat page, even light, no shadow across the paper, camera straight above rather than at an angle. Dark pen on white paper beats pencil.
What if it can't read my writing?
We tell you the result was too uncertain instead of handing back invented words. A wrong transcript you trust is worse than no transcript.
