I'm looking for something that I can scan hand-written notes into and have OCR'd. Maybe one that I can even train on my handwriting. Ideally I end up with a searchable PDF of my notes.
People use one-note for this, but I'm not really comfortable with letting microsoft see my handwriting.
I don't really need the locally trained AI to recognize general handwriting, only my own.
I could provide a few pages of my own training data (maybe write out a few pages of "quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" and other stuff like that), and then ideally it flags stuff it's unsure about and I clarify some more. Maybe find garbled nonsensical sentences, realize it's probably a mistake, and try and fix it.
I assumed the leaps in AI would have taken care of this by now, since detecting handwritten letters from touch pen-strokes existed in the 90s. But I guess handing it a chunk of text is too different of a problem, instead of feeding it stroke by stroke?
