Peter,
It turns out that hand writing recognition systems are starting to
work pretty well, with much better accuracy and speed then most of us
were expecting.
For example, many Colorado counties are having good success with
scanning systems that recognize voter signatures on Vote-By-Mail
ballot envelopes.
Like speech recognition and recognition of printed text, hand writing
recognition is responding well to the application of artificial
intelligence and deep learning algorithms.
I don't happen to know what free smart phone scanning apps are
currently available for hand writing recognition or HWR, but it is
safe to bet that they are coming soon.
However, just as with the possibility of someone being able to maybe
make a MEMS tactile display for an Optacon III, I do not plan to get
rid of my good old Optacons any time soon.
Cordially,
Noel

Although modern scanning facilities on phones are an improvement,
the Optacon is streets ahead when it comes to this time of year,
when Christmas cards come in which invariably have handwriting on
