Happy to see OCR is advancing lately, but I really need HWR.

I am looking for something this polished and reliable for handwriting, does anyone have any pointers? I want to integrate it in a workflow with my eink tablet I take notes on. A few years ago, I tried various models, but they performed poorly (around 80% accuracy) on my handwriting, which I can read almost 90% of the time.

Reading https://heartbeat.comet.ml/comparing-apples-and-google-s-on-... (2017), I expect this code to work for handwritten text.

How well it works on your handwriting is for you to test, but if you, having all kinds of contextual information, can’t read it well, I guess it won’t, either.

This is maybe not a solution, but how does ChatGPT do on your handwriting if you upload a photo? If that works well then maybe you can use the API?

AWS Textract is by far the best OCR engine we've used, it does great with handwritten text
