Trying to train an AI on my messy handwriting was a headache until I added more scribbled notes.
It finally started reading my grocery lists right after I mixed in some printed text. What's your go-to fix for when AI gets confused by personal stuff?

Abbyg14 has the right idea with using old notes. What finally clicked for me was scanning pages where my writing changed a lot, like when I was tired versus in a rush. Throwing in a coffee-stained page seemed to help it handle real-world mess too. It still needs a lot of my own messy notes to get things right.

Yeah, adding more scribbled notes like you did is smart. I had the same headache with an AI trying to read my quick notes. What worked for me was feeding it a bunch of my old sticky notes from different days. That way it saw all my weird letter shapes and got used to them. Now it only trips up if I write in total chicken scratch, which is honestly most of the time.

Most handwriting apps use pre-trained models that don't actually learn from your personal notes. They're looking for general patterns, not adapting to your specific letter shapes. Your improvement likely came from you writing more clearly on those older notes.
