It would be nice to have a tool that allows us to take a screen shot or upload a photo of cursive text that we want to interpret.

This could be done with a LLM and have it give a couple of suggestions if it is a hard one, and have it be able to see a larger sample of the same text and you can highlight the part you are trying to understand and it could then compare based on the style of the sample, and it could also create prompts on the image asking you to clarify if you know this or that letter in know parts of the example so it can work out better solutions. Also have it recognize names so it can give weighted inferences such as, answer a is because this looks like this letter, and this creates a name that is consistent with the time a place.  But in all cases when it gives a list of answers for a hard one, it gives a reason for each one.

    This was meant to be a suggestion.

    This Idea seems to have turned into a General Question overnight, losing its votes, as do several others from yesterday, is this intentional @Ashlee C.?

    The Suggest an Idea category has been turned off or barely functioning for many months. I'm surprised your original posts made it through the filters
