We did two things to train it (1) scraped the web for photographs of handwritten notes with known transcription to build our training dataset (2) had our university friends / students write out training examples by hand to get more realistic data on what modern handwriting looks like

Scribble currently only supports English, so it does poorly with other languages, but is pretty robust to poor handwriting in English (such as my own).

It gets about 85% of my handwriting correct (my handwriting is abysmal), so there's definitely room for improvement.
