Handwritten text image extraction error

OCR.space Free OCR API

Hello,

I uploaded a sample handwritten image to the api, and the returned results were just some random text.

ParsedResults 0 ParsedText
'Q.Ø80tÄ-, mm-I-on-LL a_n_, achn.L a-AL

Can you please tell me if free ocr is able to extract handwritten text or its can’t do it?

Thanks
