[blindLaw] Reading handwriting as a blind attorney

[lmendez716 at gmail.com]

Good afternoon, Sarah:

I agree, getting a reader, particularly one with experience decoding
handwriting, if you can find one, is the only way to go. Be aware, that even
people with excellent vision can  find reading handwriting, especially from
older or poorly copied documents difficult.  Also, if the case involves
potential fraud or forgery, using someone who can point out potential
discrepancies'  in the document's handwriting style could be helpful in
pointing out the need  to consult  an expert.

Hi Sarah,

I have always enlisted the assistance of a reader. In my experience, I have
not come across a good OCR app that can deal with handwriting well, let
alone accurately. I have had matters with medical records and pro se
litigants who submit handwritten filings. A reader is the best way to go.

Regards,
Nikki

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had experience dealing with records and
other documents that contain hand writing. If so, what is the best way to
read these documents? An example would be medical records in which someone
has written on them. Are there any iOS apps that accurately can read this
writing?  What about documents that are entirely hand written. Or is the
only option to get assistance from someone else for this task. Thank you in
advance.
