Azure Cognitive Service - Computer Vision - OCR not working for Handwriting


I am trying to use the Computer vision OCR of Azure cognitive service. I can able to do it for computer text in the image but it cannot able to recognize the text when it is a handwriting. I believe somehow there is any other way out to do it, if anybody can help me on it.


Solution

  • OCR does support handwritten recognition but only for English.
