Google can now read doctors’ bad handwriting
- PaulHoule 4y agoIf it isn't the handwriting that is indecipherable, it is the abbreviations. I worked for a very early stage startup that wanted to apply A.I. to clinical notes, I wanted to build a language model based on the abstracts of case reports because in some ways that is a model for clinical notes and we could get a lot of them. We decided not to do that though because case reports aren't a good model for clinical notes in that the distribution of conditions involved is different and because case reports are written in much better English than clinical notes.

Trying to decipher the handwriting on old birth & death certificates can be next to impossible at times. I've always been puzzled as to why there wasn't a requirement to fill in such important forms in block capitals, rather than allowing the registrars to use their own and often 'doctor-esque' handwriting.
