Re: Scribble – Convert handwriting into digital text
#2This looks cool but I wish it showed examples of different kinds of handwriting being detected.
Cursive?
European numbers vs American numbers (the 1 especially)?
Doctor (or other badly rendered hand writing)?
Seems like this technology isn't really all that useful if it doesn't work on various inputs, especially 'unclean' or 'sloppy' inputs.

Thanks for the comment!
The algorithm works on a large variety of handwriting (currently only support English).
It's a NN that was trained on ~100k different handwriting examples, and it's pretty robust to cursive / sloppy handwriting. Haven't tried European vs American numbers yet but I'll definitely give it a try now that you've piqued my curiosity

#4This could be awesome when combined with Rocketbook

#5Care to share some details on your technology? On whose handwriting was this trained, did you use any public datasets for this? And of course, how well will this perform on writing styles it hasn't seen before?

The European 1 often looks like an upward facing triangle without a bottom line. Surprisingly frequently it has caused European's in the US to have issues with the IRS/Taxes because the European 1 is often interpreted by Americans as a 7 (because Americans do not use a bar across the center of the 7 or Z). A household size of 7 instead of 1 can be a real back breaker!

#7Does the processing happen locally or is there some cloud processing going on? Kind of worried about the privacy implications of that.

#8I extremely rarely use paper and when I do I feel terribly unhappy. I suppose this app is not for me lol.

#9Looks nice. Any chance for an api so we can send jpg and get back a document?

#10What about hand drawn figures?
