Regular handwriting there are many.
Historical handwriting, Gemini 3 is the only one which gave a decent result on a 19th century minutes from a town court in Northern Norway (Danish gothic handwriting with bleed through). I'm not 100% sure it's correct, but that's because it's so dang hard to read it to verify it. At least I see it gets many names, dates and locations right.
I've been waiting a long time for this.
- sph 11mo ago> Regular handwriting there are many. Please share. I am out of the loop and my searches have not pointed me to the state of the art, which has seen major steps forward in the past 3 or 4 years but most of it seems to be closed or attached to larger AI products. Is it even still called OCR?
- fragmede 11mo agoTotally not what you asked, but making an OCR model is a learning exercise for AI research students. Using the Kaggle-hosted dataset https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/landlord/handwriting-recognition/data https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/landlord/handwriting-recogni... and a tutorial, eg https://pyimagesearch.com/2020/08/17/ocr-with-keras-tensorflow-and-deep-learning/ https://pyimagesearch.com/2020/08/17/ocr-with-keras-tensorfl... you can follow along and train your own OCR model!
- driscoll42 11mo agoThe best open source OCR model for handwriting in my experience is surya-v2 or nougat, really depends on the docs which is better, each got about 90% accuracy (cosine similarity) in my tests. I have not tried Deepseek-OCR, but mean to at some point.
