[blindLaw] Reading handwriting as a blind attorney

[Nightingale, Noel]

To emphasize the importance of having access to a competent reader, I ditto the others who have responded to your handwriting query, Sarah.  I have to read a lot of documents with handwriting and often have my reader transcribe them to help me and others who might need to read them.  If even the reader can't tell what a worded is, he indicates that in the transcribed version.   By the way, when a document is critical to know exactly what it says, as in that every word and every bit of punctuation is important to accurately know, I would never just rely on an app that converts even typed text into an accessible format as apps are not 100 percent fool proof.

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.
