This is very interesting and exciting news for the genealogy community. With software such as this, the computer program will be able to recognize, and translate historic handwritten documents.
Currently, reading and attempting to understand the cursive writing of our ancestors is difficult and most often not legible. If this OCR (Optical Character Recognition), is a success then this will be groundbreaking in the research field.
Let’s see what time will hold for the savvy technicians at Mocavo. I am looking forward to seeing what they accomplish.
