1. google: [handwriting ocr]
2. How good [clear] is your handwriting?
I wouldn't hold my breath, but we've gone a long way since 40Kb of storage was enough.

| Well not an ocr programm, but a programm that i would ''train'' to translate my writing to typed letters. I mean i would say my ''a'' is like that, my ''b'' like that etc. Anything? |

I wonder how it would determine the letter "B" from the letter "P", both capitalized. As you write the first hump in "B" it might process a "P".
How about zero as opposed to the letter O? I and l? |

Handwriting recognition may be already available at some government/military level, perhpas, or even some high-security business level, but I think you're dreaming if you expect to see something like that here.
Possibly.... Write it out then read aloud carefully, using Dragon Naturally Speaking.

I haven't used it, so perhaps I am out of line here, but honestly, sometimes I can't read my own writing. The software would have to be pretty sophisticated to save a lot of additional effort. I've seen some OCR software that made a shambles out of fairly legible print, so I'd like to see an example of what can be done for a reasonable price. Mind, with my accent and usually soft-spoken voice, I'm also betweeen a rock and a hard place with voice recognition as well.
