Key Capabilities
Recognises historical handwriting styles
DoctorDocs has been optimised for historical scripts, including the long s character used in 18th-century documents and the ligature forms common in Victorian-era correspondence.
Preserves original structure for archival purposes
The output maintains paragraph breaks, salutations, and signature blocks as they appear in the original letter.
Supports batch processing of multi-page letters
The tool accepts multi-page PDF uploads created from scanned letter collections, processing each page sequentially.
How to Use
Scan or photograph the original letter
For best results, use a flatbed scanner at 300 DPI or higher.
Upload and select the historical document option
Upload your scan and allow the historical handwriting preprocessing to run.
Proofread and annotate the transcript
Review the output carefully. Export the final transcript as a DOCX file with the original image embedded.
Common Use Cases

Frequently Asked Questions
Can it read faded or centuries-old handwriting?
Yes. The built-in Magic Enhance filter uses adaptive thresholding to separate faded ink from yellowed paper, recovering text that looks invisible to the naked eye. LSTM neural networks then recognize the enhanced text, including old cursive styles like copperplate and Spencerian script.
Who uses this tool?
Genealogists digitize old family letters and census records. Museum archivists convert fragile manuscripts to searchable text without handling originals. Estate attorneys extract text from decades-old handwritten wills and land deeds.
Is my document data private?
Yes. OCR runs locally in your browser via WebAssembly. Your document images are never uploaded to any server, cached, or logged. Processing happens entirely on your device.
