Is your approach word-based or character based ?

Can't wait to see the final product ! The best neural-based handwriting OCRs are <90% right now, it's good to see something new in the landscape.

Thank you for the question!

Currently, it's a combination of the two, mainly because people often take notes hastily so word-based recognition coupled with spell check allow you to fix things on the fly. However, this also results in bizarre outputs sometimes so we're still figuring out what an optimal output looks like.
