Please refer to the Wiki Documentation for the complete Handprint Recognition reference.

SimpleIndex offers two kinds of ICR (Intelligent Character Recognition) for converting printed and script handwriting to text.

The Cloud OCR feature enables the Amazon AWS Textract OCR engine, that has the ability to read unconstrained print and scripted handwriting with surprisingly good accuracy.

The FineReader OCR engine offers handprint recognition designed for forms processing. it is optimized for hand-filled forms that use letter boxes or combs to ensure each letter is separated. FineReader will also work with underlined text as long as it is printed. For cursive scripts the Cloud OCR option is recommended.
