This wrote a complete Laravel feature for me from start to finish almost perfectly, better than any other approach I have tried (e.g. TaskMaster). Amazing job.
I need to take the time to see what the Laravel side of this is so perhaps I can adapt for my RN app too.
From https://www.handwritingocr.com - seemed to be more accurate, mostly getting the New Mexican and possibly other parts:
---
and I don't know whether it can be reset for a date in December or not. Cornell seemed anxious that it should not come off too close to Christmas, and of course New Mexican practice would support him. I will take this up with the Judge and with Hanna the moment I can get rid of the brief. Meanwhile I would like to know whether there is anything else in which I can be useful to you, since it behooves me to be diligent in view of uncomfortable relations with the present management.
Are you going East in December?
Has any word come from Hagerman?
Were there any noteworthy developments at the hearings on the Tenorio tract?
I have no intimation yet whether I will be wanted in Washington, but the chances are that I will not.
I'm the founder of handwritingocr.com - have you checked out our free trial? We have loads of educators using our service for exactly this, and they seem quite happy with it.
I understand your concern, and it's a common one. However, we can only give assurances in our privacy policy that your data is used only to perform the OCR, and nothing else. You can delete all data from the server immediately after downloading your results and no trace will be left.
Of course a local solution like Ollama is preferable for privacy reasons but, for now, the OCR performance of available local models is just not very good, especially from handwritten documents. With a couple thousand pages of journal entries, that means a lot of post-processing and editing.
It's not free, but its accuracy for for handwritten documents is the best out there (I am the founder, so am biased, but I'm really excited about where the accuracy is now). It could save you time and for your 100 page project would cost only $12.
True, in cases like OP a one-off purchase will be better. But I also have business customers with regular and ongoing document processing needs for whom a subscription does work.
I expect the answer may be a combination of the two.
I’m still experimenting with pricing, and agree that per page pricing makes logical sense. Still, it’s harder for me to build a sustainable business on that model.
I will probably test a few per-page or single payment options soon, though.
It is designed to do exactly what you are looking for, and has been used very successfully by many others for that same purpose (I’m the founder).
It is not as cheap per page as Google Document AI, for example, but it does tend to be much more accurate for handwriting, so usually ends up cheaper when editing time is factored in.
If you find it does work well with your handwriting, please get in touch and I can try to fit the pricing to your use case.
