Our OCR Engine 3 features advanced handwriting recognition capable of reading over 200 new OCR languages - including Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.

You might tried OCR before — Adobe, Google, scanner apps and our very own OCR engines 1 and 2. Great for printed text, but not useable for handwriting. But retyping by hand takes hours, and without converting the handwritten documents to text you can not search or use them.

The solution is to use OCR Engine 3 to read handwriting. It turns even messy notes and scribbles into clean digital text.

Handwriting OCR works out of the box. No special parameter needs to be used for the OCR API call. OCR engine 3 detects handwriting automatically and returns the text, just as it does with regular printed documents.

Engine 3 is available in the free OCR plan, too. So we believe it is the best OCR for free handwriting OCR.
