I need help understanding how to search for handwritten words. Do I need to train the software through enhanced features to recognize handwritten words. We are a school district with numerous handwritten notes from parents, and there are times we need to find a particular student. I understood that Adobe Pro would allow us to search handwritten words. Did I misunderstand the OCR feature?
Thanks for help!

Hi kcharnes,
OCR doesn't have the capability to read your handwritten notes.
This will work on flatten text documents, images with system generated text. Or scanned documents.
Hope that answers your question.

Hi Tariq
Just checking to see if there is any update on this. Has Adobe released (or plan to) any tools / add ons to search / read handwritten notes?

You can probably find other software or services that attempt to read handwritting and convert to text.
Maybe a google service, or a standalone app - it would require AI (artificial intelligence) methods to achieve any kind of accurate result.

Since I am missing the same feature myself for quite some time, I am using MyScript Nebo for notes in handwritings, because it's multiplatform. It cannot write on PDFs (yet) but imagine how powerful a combination would be! For people who can do or want to learn handwriting.
