#2Great post and amazing progress in this field! However, I have to wonder if some of these letters were part of the training data for Gemini, since they are well-known and someone has probably already done the painstaking work of transcribing them...

This is a random image from Twitter with no transcript or English translation provided, so it's not going to be in the training data.

No, transcription has nothing to do with written text, it guessed few words here and there but not even general topic.

But unreadable doctors handwriting is a meme...
