This wrote a complete Laravel feature for me from start to finish almost perfectly, better than any other approach I have tried (e.g. TaskMaster). Amazing job. I need to take the time to see what the Laravel side of this is so perhaps I can

Using this now - works brilliantly! What makes it Laravel specific? Would also love to use this with a React Native app I'm struggling to build.

I'm the founder of handwritingocr.com - have you checked out our free trial? We have loads of educators using our service for exactly this, and they seem quite happy with it.

I understand your concern, and it's a common one. However, we can only give assurances in our privacy policy that your data is used only to perform the OCR, and nothing else. You can delete all data from the server immediately after do

I'd love to hear how Handwriting OCR ( https://www.handwritingocr.com ) compares for your task. It's not free, but its accuracy for for handwritten documents is the best out there (I am the founder, so am biased, but I&#

Hi, There's no way to fine tune at present, but it does pretty well with all but the scrawliest of handwriting out of the box. btw I wrote to the email in your profile, not sure if you got it.

Thanks, I'm grateful for this useful feedback.

Hey, Thanks for the feedback and great suggestions. It's something I will try to implement in the coming days. p.s. I tried to make my affiliation clear - I wrote "I’m the founder" in the original comment above :)

True, in cases like OP a one-off purchase will be better. But I also have business customers with regular and ongoing document processing needs for whom a subscription does work. I expect the answer may be a combination of the two.

Thanks! I’m still experimenting with pricing, and agree that per page pricing makes logical sense. Still, it’s harder for me to build a sustainable business on that model. I will probably test a few per-page or single payment options soon,

Have you tried https://www.handwritingOCR.com ? It is designed to do exactly what you are looking for, and has been used very successfully by many others for that same purpose (I’m the founder). It is not as cheap per page as Goo

Hah, yes. It's just the remnants of a template. As I said - totally half-baked and not ready for (or expecting) users yet.

I left my last job and a toxic boss a few months back and decided the only viable future is to start my own thing again. But this time I was going to do it properly - lean customer development, speak to users before writing a line of code,

Hey, nice app. Can you add support for non-English transcription/translation, though?

Everything is done with real time calls to the eBay API. eBay's catalogue is too large to make it realistic to fetch it as a whole and, anyway, as far as I remember they don't offer a data dump (it's been a long time since I

I block all bots and crawlers except Googlebot and Bingbot (the others bring no users but can hit the servers hard), so I'd treat Alexa etc with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, the figures I gave are for 2016. Since then, there has indee

In my case it was word of mouth, social sharing, and the good graces of Google. Each individual user is simply worth too little to make a paid marketing strategy viable. With the traffic I had, I did a lot of A/B testing to maximise co

I built and run StoreSlider[1]. It made ~$700,000 in 2016, mainly in affiliate revenue from eBay. Costs are essentially hosting (between two and five $10 Linodes, depending on load). Took me some effort to built, but it's on autopilot

I found myself spending far too much time on my iPhone, and most of this time was spent using Safari and Twitter for mindless browsing. My approach to this was to uninstall all "problematic" apps, especially Twitter. Then I used m

https://www.storeslider.com I got bored of trawling eBay so decided to make my own tool to make it faster. StoreSlider has been going for a few years now and has been really useful.

Ha, I actually thought the logo looks similar to a cheap hotel/motel chain I saw when I was in the States, can't remember its name but it's not a good association :) Sadly this is the limit of my photoshop skills for the time being. Will up

Hi Imran, I think you're right that the value prop isn't made explicit enough at the moment - I could use adding some kind of introductory text to make it clear what the site is about, question is where to put it. To me, the value propositi

Thanks for the advice, will look at options for being more specific on dates - although I suppose what I am really trying to offer here is an opportunity to see the absolute best prices on packages for those who have flexibility around thei

Thanks for the really insightful comments. UI-wise, I can probably fix most of these (e.g. dates). As you say, the real challenge is getting the traffic. Stumbleupon users are far from my target, but at least a cheap way to see how people i
