Scanners: can they read hand written letters?

Posted by MaryB on 5/15/2005 at 10:24 AM

Is a scanner like the ScannaR able to read hand written letters as well as typed text? If so, does the handwriting have to be print as opposed to cursive?

No one we know, knows of a scanner that can read handwriting, yet. Maybe someday.

Hey! I hope I'm not too late....my Kurtzweil reader can read neatly print handwritten letters. If they are too messy it can't read them, but if it's neat it just takes a while for it to decipher. It can't read cursive though. Only regular printed print. hope this helps

I think the Kurzweil reader can.
