Unscribbler – Simple Handwriting Reader
This is a handwriting-to-text converter! Just follow the instructions on the page and you're good to go :) Background: I've been tutoring on the side for a while and it's apparent that the whole process can be smoothed out, with the end goal being an AI tutor buddy with a stylus interface. This is a little step in that direction. As for implementation details, I forked excalidraw (at https://github.com/excalidraw), got a gcp free tier instance running, and scraped together a Google K8s Engine cluster serving with torchserve. Luckily there's a great deal on the public preview…

In plain words
Unscribbler is a handwriting-to-text converter that uses AI to digitize written notes. Users write or draw on a stylus-compatible interface, and the tool automatically converts their handwriting into text. Built by a tutor as a step toward creating an AI tutoring assistant, it combines an Excalidraw-based drawing interface with machine learning models to recognize handwritten content.

I'm a big fan of the BBC podcast In Our Time -- and (like most people) I've been playing with the OpenAI APIs. In Our Time has almost 1,000 episodes on everything from Cleopatra to the evolution of teeth to plasma physics, all still available, so it's my starting point to learn about most topics. But it's not well organised. So here are the episodes sorted by library code. It's fun to explore. Web scraping is usually pretty tedious, but I found that I could send the minimised HTML to GPT-3 and get (almost) perfect JSON back: the prompt includes the Typescript definition. At the same time I…
