Specialized in handwriting OCR
Our handwriting OCR is optimized for handwritten notes, letters, and documents, while still working well with printed pages and high-quality scans.
Natural reading order
Instead of trying to recreate the original page layout, we convert handwriting into a clear reading order that makes the text easy to review, edit, and reuse.
Format-aware output
When handwriting includes structured content such as math equations, the OCR converts it into appropriate formats, including LaTeX for mathematical expressions.
