I just want to point out that 90% accuracy is, from a user's point of view, awful handwriting recognition performance. It means you will be correcting on average about 10 words per paragraph!

Wait, what? Doesn't that imply that a paragraph needs to have 100 words in it, in order for 10 of them to be recognized wrong at 90% success rate? That seems super-long, anyway.

My stats are really rusty, perhaps that's just one of those unintuitive cases that confuse people like me.

It's a (somewhat dated, probably) copyediting rule of thumb that a written paragraph has about 100-200 words in it. This would be in a writing style you might see in a novel or an essay. For online writing, perhaps more like 50-100. Even that might be long for the style of writing where each sentence is its own paragraph, supposedly for impact or whatever. Not sure you can really call it "paragraphs" when each one is only a sentence.

For reference, the above paragraph is 78 words long.
