Running tesseract (4.0.0 using the LSTM engine) on the same images leaves a lot to be desired for handwriting, but does well on the (non-handwriting) website image (the source images are linked in the "OCR Image Processing Results" section).

"Can I use Tesseract for handwriting recognition?

You can, but it won’t work very well, as Tesseract is designed for printed text. Look for projects focused on handwriting recognition."
