Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about using our handwriting reader.

What is a handwriting reader?
A handwriting reader is an AI-powered tool that interprets handwritten text from images and converts it into readable digital text. Unlike basic OCR tools, it is designed to decode messy, unclear, or difficult handwriting and improve readability automatically.
Can it read messy or hard-to-read handwriting?
Yes. Our handwriting reader is trained on a wide range of handwriting styles, including rushed notes, uneven spacing, scribbles, and mixed cursive and print. While extremely unclear writing may still require minor edits, the system significantly improves readability in most cases.
Can AI really decode cursive handwriting?
Yes. The system recognizes both print and cursive writing, including stylized or connected letterforms. Accuracy depends on image clarity and contrast, but it performs well with most common cursive styles.
Does it work with old letters or faded ink?
Yes. As long as the uploaded image has enough contrast between text and background, the handwriting reader can extract readable text from older documents, journals, or scanned letters. For best results, use a clear and well-lit image.
What types of handwriting are hardest to recognize?
Extremely overlapping letters, very low-contrast ink, heavy shadows, or handwriting that is cut off at the edges can reduce accuracy. Improving lighting and capturing the full page clearly will significantly improve results.
Can I upload multiple handwritten pages?
Yes. Paid users can process multiple pages in batch mode, making it easy to decode entire notebooks, journals, or document collections efficiently.
What file formats are supported?
You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC images up to 10 MB. For best accuracy, use sharp, well-lit images where the handwriting fills most of the frame.
Is my handwriting private and secure?
Yes. All uploaded images are encrypted during processing and automatically deleted after text extraction. We do not store your documents or use them for training purposes.
Can I edit the decoded text?
Yes. Once the handwriting has been converted into readable text, you can copy it, download it, and edit it freely in any document editor.
Does it work on mobile devices?
Yes. The handwriting reader works directly in your browser and is fully compatible with mobile phones, tablets, and desktop computers. No installation is required.
