The tool supports JPG/PNG uploads, processes them in a few seconds, and lets you export the results to Word,or plain text. I built it mainly for students, researchers, and anyone dealing with historical documents, but it might be useful for everyday handwriting too.
Would love feedback from anyone who’s tried similar tools or has use cases I might not have considered.
