That's unfortunate because I have a bunch of photos with handwritten German on the back that I need to transcribe, and seeing as that I can't read German I can't really do it by myself either.

I reckon performance on German will be similar to English, the only real difference is the umlauts and those are very consistent. Not sure how it will do on the ß.

qwen 3.5 vl instruct on openrouter is damn cheap - and works quite well with non english stuff.

i have it verify some stamps which are quite messy and sometimes obscured and honestly some i could not even read.

from my first tests it does fine with german, at least for the gastly "handwritten" font the restaurant menu I used for the test uses.
