Comment on Why is OCR for handwritten content still that bad?

  How else do you write them? Worth mentioning that I learned cursive in school and we had to write in cursive until like middle school when I then mostly transitioned to a happy mix of cursive and non-cursive

    How else do you write them?

    In a single (but not smooth) stroke, like how one would write a (mirrored) h, but where you would end the h normally, you connect it back to the bottom of the stem instead.

    I learned cursive

    That’s even weirder that you’d do ol for d then. I’d expect you to do a single stroke o, starting at the right hand side, but upon completing the o, continue straight up to make the stem of the d.

    IMO a hallmark of messy writing should be the shortcuts taken to reduce the amount of lifts of the stylus for efficiency’s sake. You need to improve the efficiency of your sloppiness, to make things worse so it gets better 😂
