I know you've said you've looked at off-the shelf tools, but in that did you consider https://www.transkribus.org/? It's a tool designed for reading historical, hand-written documentation—gets used a lot in archives and historical studies. Might be worth an evaluation to see if your handwriting is not great in similar ways to Dutch bankers from the 18th century.

My father worked with him at CMU and the story he always told (while possibly apocryphal) was that the reason that the ASCII bell character sequence was CRTL-G was because of Gordon.

If you're interested in playing around more with this, it's using a standard called IIIF (https://iiif.io) for image access via API. It's used by many museums, libraries, and archives.

One of the benefits of this is that you can get access to a metadata file that lets you know technical information about the image: It's at https://iiif.micr.io/TZCqF/info.json.
