Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about reading handwritten German.
Handwritten German With Umlauts and ß Intact
German meaning rides on two dots and a sharp s: schon and schön are different words, and the ß isn't a B. This OCR keeps umlauts and the eszett exact, and it tracks long compound nouns without breaking them apart — so your handwritten German transcribes faithfully.
