| 1431358 | 2017-01-30 01:58:00 | Hi All. What equipment do I need to do "Handwriting to Text. Does it work well? Thanks. PJ |

| 1431359 | 2017-01-30 02:59:00 | No - OCR will not be very successful at all with handwriting... | bevy121 (117) | ||
| 1431360 | 2017-01-30 03:20:00 | I just scan whatever with MP Navigator. A separate install for the Canon printer here. Scans anything wireless. Text or handwriting Had to use it once, just printed what someone sent to me in an email, signed it then re-scanned it with my signature then re-emailed it |

Is there something similar for this? Thanks. PJ |

| 1431362 | 2017-01-30 08:58:00 | Looks like there is an OCR component on the site. I have no idea what it does tho (tech.epson.co.nz) Never had an Epson |

| 1431363 | 2017-01-30 09:50:00 | Optical Character Recognition - to read an image with text and convert it to an actual text file. Much different than just scanning something to sign and send. Popa John would need to clarify what it is that he actually wants to do If he wants to convert a handwritten document in an image format to text file, then as I said, OCR will have a lot of misread characters (depending on how clear/unclear the individual characters of the handwriting in the document image are) |

| 1431364 | 2017-01-30 09:53:00 | that depends on how good the program is that you use... | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||

I realise that , up to now, the idea has a long way to go before coming anywhere near perfect. Same as speech to text. The number of corrections may be too many to justify the bother, & just type the material into a Word Doc. Your Para 3 says it all. PJ |

| 1431367 | 2017-01-31 09:58:00 | Printed text image A4's will be read to a text file surprisingly well - it's the handwritten ones they tend to fumble on. But as I said, that depends on how much depth there is to the "proper grown up joined together handwriting" the handwritten material actually is! lol Best way is always to try it on a couple and see! :) |
