🤖✍️ So, the digital humanities finally cracked the code on handwriting recognition? Guess Dan Cohen is now the Indiana Jones of deciphering scribbles from the past. Meanwhile, AI is busy finding articles and artworks, like a glorified librarian that doesn't need coffee breaks ☕📚.

Does anyone know about a software for #handwritingrecognition that runs completely in the browser and can be included in a website? It should be capable of converting the handwriting in an uploaded picture to text. I'm confronted with the saying "we do not need to send a picture of a handwritten text to an external LLM to convert it into text, this can be done 'locally'" and I'm struggeling to either confirm it or prove it wrong. #webdev #PHP #Javascript

As promised, Microsoft has begun rolling out a Windows 11 update that lets users with a pen-enabled device use a stylus to write in any field that supports text input by converting handwriting to text. https://www.theverge.com/2023/10/27/23934589/microsoft-windows-11-windows-ink-anywhere #Micrososft #WindowsInk #HandwritingRecognition

I'm bummed that I missed the experimental FamilySearch wills and deeds handwriting search. Looks like it's currently offline.

It just hit me that we need a device where we can write and print a page at the same time, without an intermediate step.

The Handwriting Recognition API ✍️ allows you to recognize text from handwritten input as it happens. Google Developer Expert @christianliebel
and @tomayac have documented it all:

The Handwriting Recognition API ✍️ is amazing. @christianliebel@twitter.com has even built a web component that makes using it super straight-forward. See the article for the details. All props to Chris! ⤵️ #HandwritingRecognition

So far I've been relatively impressed by windows 10 #HandwritingRecognition support with the surface pen.

That being said, I have had to feed the algorithm with a fair amount of data before it really started being reliable (and able to keep up with me).

I simply wish the handwriting keyboard was multiline... Or that there was an #OpenSource option out there...
