[thelist] OCR handwriting?

Hey folks.

Long-range question here... there's a possibility that I'll be doing a 
website for an elderly relative in the next few months, sort of a memoirs 
thang. He's said he'll write the stuff down for me, but I suspect that 
means paper, pen and ink.

Is there software out there that can translate scanned images of 
handwritten work to text? Even if the handwriting is old-style cursive? 
Free would be nice, since this won't be a for-profit venture, or even a 
for-cost one.

If there ain't, I'll bite the bullet and type it up. Or persuade him to 
dictate or something.

Drew.
