Re: Scribble – Convert handwriting into digital text
#12This 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
Pretty cool project / release! How does it do with bubbly teenage girl script? Example: http://www.annakoren.com/images/love7.gif Best to ya.

Without any links or proof, this is a low value comment.

#14Is it available on Android?

#15This is awesome! I have notebooks full of very messy stuff which I've kept waiting for a service just like this someday. I hope it gets really good. Can't wait!

#16do you plan to provide an API?

#17I've been keeping a physical dev diary and have been trying to keep up with transcribing it to digital, but would love any shortcuts to that process as I'm pretty bad about keeping up with it.
My handwriting is kind of messy but I'm eager see how well your algorithms can handle it. It doesn't have to be perfect anyway, as I don't mind going in and cleaning up afterwards. Should still save me some time and some typing.

>European numbers vs American numbers (the 1 especially)?
Honestly I think 9 will be the bigger issue, to my eyes the European version is near identical to lower-case G.

#19Cool idea. Could see this being useful with something like Evernote. It's got a great note capture feature as well but doesn't covert to text you can't edit.
Re: Scribble – Convert handwriting into digital text
#20This could be awesome when combined with Rocketbook
This was my first thought as well.
