what I would like to find is a free a cheap way to OCR my handwritten notes. I know that handwritten is much more difficult but it would be possible to use supervised learning mon my specific handwriting.

I want something similar for digitization of photos from whiteboarding sessions.

I think it would be an awesome way to capture notes from design sessions while still allowing the fluidity of a real whiteboard.

OneNote's recognition of my handwriting--once described by a tutor as 'dogs dribble'--is nothing short of miraculous.

OneNote only does recognition for search and by text-block, you can't select as in the OP; would love that feature.

thanks I will have a look, I think my job has a license for it
