I've kicked the tires of the live demo, and found that it seems to only work well if you draw seriffed letters. My initial attempt at a B resulted in a 'g' result. I then tried again to make it as perfect as possible, and got an '8'. So then I tried again, adding serifs (I think?) at the top and bottom extending to the left, and finally got a 'B'.
My attempts at full words took a lot of tweaking of the form of the letters to get a correct match. Many letters were not identified at all.

(Though the author does say "Ocrad does seem to vastly outperform GOCR when it comes to letter sketches on a canvas, so that's the one I'm focusing on here." which suggests that recognizing hand-drawn letters is something the author's interested in.)
