[Athen] Converting Hand-Written Documents to an Accessible Format

[Megan E Hall via athen-list]

Hello,

A colleague and I have been searching and testing various technology tools that would convert a hand-written document to an accessible file format. So far, we have found several tools that will use OCR in the conversion process, but it seems it still recognizes the handwriting as an image. This is also happening in my Adobe Acrobat Pro account; it labels them as "figures."

Does anyone have any recommendations for a tool that can do this correctly? We are coming up short.

We would also appreciate some insight into how other institutions are handling this. Tips, best practices, etc. are welcome.

Thank you in advance,
