Has anybody used an OCR app & got a good result? Printing or writing. Thanks. PJ.

So yes, it can work very well. Its not 100% perfect though, nothing is.
How well do the free OCR's work is another question. :)

It may not work very well at all for badly handwritten docs .
It has to be able to recognize each individual character/letter , even the human mk1 eyeball cant decipher
some hand written docs

Even many smartphones have basic OCR type apps now , where you handwrite on the screen & that gets converted
