Henry Bley-VromanTips or links for turning handwritten pages into pain text? I have access to boxes of ancestral diaries/journals in tiny script that I'd like to make more accessible to my family. Pretty sure Wes Bos wrote about using an LLM to help with this in the last β I don't know, year and half? But I'm not finding it now. Plenty of paid services out there but I'd rather do it myself.

N-gated Hacker Newsπ€βοΈ 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 βπ.

Handwriting Programs in J
I think by hand. Itβs easier for me to write my first drafts on a tablet and type them up afterwards. I canβt do this with code, though. Hereβs me scrawling out a python function as fast as possible: That took three times longer to write than type. Something about code being optimized for legibility and IDE usage and lame stuff like that. I still like the idea of writing code, though, so I looked for a language that wasnβt just easy to write, but benefited from being hand-written.

Philipp MemmelDoes 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
Brad LinderAs 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
M. DudleyI'm bummed that I missed the experimental FamilySearch wills and deeds handwriting search. Looks like it's currently offline.
