About the Handwriting OCR
Handwriting OCR applies character recognition to photographed or scanned notes and returns editable text for review.
Accuracy varies substantially by writing style, lighting and line spacing, so the output remains editable and carries a clear verification warning.

Frequently asked questions
- Does it read every handwriting style?
- No. Neat, high-contrast writing works best and results must be reviewed.
- Can it read cursive?
- It can recognize some joined writing, but block letters are generally more accurate.
- Does the note leave my device?
- No. Recognition runs in the browser after the language model loads.
