I can read handwriting. It takes a lot of patience. It also helps when it is
familiar handwriting. Also, I'm sure it helps that I
did have very limited sight as a child and saw what handwriting looked like and
had to write it in school until I lost my sight and
then began to type all my work.

I'm amazed you can read handwriting at all, that is, if you're referring to
cursive, or as I call
it, cursed. I have read regular hand-printed letters, particularly if they're
in capital letters. Each
person writes them a little differently, so you almost have to get used to each
person's style of writing.
Perhaps if I knew cursive writing beyond my name and a few other scattered
letters here and there, I might
be able to make it out, but even sighted people say they have great difficulty
in reading one-another's handwriting.
