The conversion of handwritten script into machine-readable text through artificial intelligence is a technological process that enables the transformation of images of handwriting into digital text. This process allows computers to understand and interpret the content of handwritten documents, such as notes, letters, and forms. An example is the digitization of historical archives, where handwritten records are converted into searchable digital databases.
This technology offers multiple advantages, including improved accessibility of handwritten materials, enhanced searchability of document archives, and streamlined data entry processes. Historically, manual transcription was the only method available for converting handwriting to text, a time-consuming and error-prone task. The advent of automated systems has significantly increased efficiency and accuracy, impacting fields such as healthcare, finance, and education.
