Abstract<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tools for machine transcription of handwriting are practical and labour-saving if you need to analyse or present text in digital form. This lesson will explain how to write a Python program to transcribe handwritten documents using Microsoft\u2019s Azure Cognitive Services, a commercially available service that has a cost-free option for low volumes of use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
