Requires engine

Handwriting to text

Handwriting to text is fully built. It cannot run in this deployment because a dependency has not been configured.

What it needs: A handwriting recognition model
Environment variables: OCR_PROVIDEROCR_API_KEY
Why it is not on yet: Printed text is already read free in the browser by the Image to text and PDF OCR tools. Handwriting is a different problem: the in-browser engine is trained on printed type and reads handwriting badly, so offering it would produce confident nonsense. This needs a hosted handwriting model.
