The last page of a dealer’s 4473 book I looked at I could not read. Does this software recognize cursive writing?

Six years ago, it could, with ease. Remember, the big problem for OCR has been the available processing power and that hasn’t been a problem for a while. You can avoid it with clever algorithms, but you can brute force it with more power.

Heck, in 1996, Apple had a commercial PDA that could read cursive writing - specifically mine, which humans have problems reading. The government had a “brute force” solution long before that.
