Pain Points (Public)

Organizations and researchers accumulate physical notebooks or scanned handwritten records that automated OCR engines cannot reliably parse without character distortion, missing words, and corrupted formatting.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Convert high-resolution handwritten scans into standardized Microsoft Word (.docx) or Markdown documents through systematic transcription and manual cross-verification, retaining exact indentation, headings, and lists.

What to build first
  1. Build a high-resolution scan upload pipeline supporting multi-page image and PDF ingestion with side-by-side verification view against raw handwriting.
