Great piece, Dan. I can confirm: Over the years, this has indeed been a longstanding problem. I've helped fund numerous projects over the years trying to address handwriting recognition and it is exciting to see what we can do today.

Honoring our collaborators @performant.bsky.social, whose rigor and skill helped make Native Bound Unbound possible.

They built a platform that connects people, stories, and places across time—a living archive built with care, precision, and imagination.
