Handwriting OCR is a document automation service that specialises in digitizing documents containing handwriting. It uses a form of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) developed especially for reading handwriting.
Handwriting OCR can (despite the name!) be used to read any kind of text, including all types of printed text. In fact, because handwriting is the most difficult challenge for text recognition, you should expect results from printed text to be even better.
We support a variety of file formats including PDF, JPG, PNG, GIF, HEIC, and TIFF. For multi-page documents, we recommend using PDF format for the best results and most efficient processing. Multiple page TIFF files can also be processed.
Yes, our OCR technology supports a wide range of languages and alphabets. Whether you're working with Latin-based scripts, Cyrillic, Arabic, or Asian languages, our system can handle it.
Yes, we use advanced AI and machine learning technologies to power our OCR process. This allows us to achieve high accuracy rates, especially with challenging handwritten text. Our AI models are continuously improved to enhance performance and accuracy.
No, we do not train our AI models on customer data. Our models are pre-trained on a diverse set of public domain and licensed datasets. Your documents are processed using these pre-trained models but are not used to further train or improve the models. This ensures the privacy and confidentiality of your data.

No, we do not share your data with any third parties. Your documents and the resulting OCR data are kept strictly confidential and are only accessible to you and your authorized users.
We prioritize your data privacy and control. By default, we automatically delete documents after a default period of 7 days after processing to minimize data retention while giving you the time you need to access your results. Users can set the automatic deletion period to a shorter period if they prefer. You can also manually delete any stored documents at any time through our dashboard or through the API. Once you delete a document, it is permanently deleted.
After processing, your original documents and the OCR results are stored securely for a limited time to allow you to access and download the results. As mentioned in our deletion policy, documents are automatically deleted after 7 days by default, but you can adjust this period or manually delete your data at any time through our dashboard. We do not retain or use your data for any other purposes.
We understand that many organizations deal with sensitive or classified information. While our standard service is highly secure, we can work with you to implement additional security measures for highly sensitive documents.
