Search Engines for Handwritten Documents

Posted by michael on from the lost-art dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have created a tool for automatically searching handwritten historical documents, such as the 140,000 pages that make up George Washington's personal papers in the Library of Congress. The most interesting part is that the papers are scanned versions of the originals and the search tool actually recognizes the handwritten text from these images."

    One time when I was drunk I raped the fifteen year old daughter of a friend of mine. She enjoyed and kept coming back for more, using some pretense for going to the other side of town. I used to be a loveless virgin, but this wonderful young lady has willingly become my sex slave. Right now I am laying on my with my giant nine incher shoved up her ass as she moans with pleasure as my throbbing cock ejaculates and I finger her clittoris.

    Have a nice day.
