    Bianca Feldmann, "OCR von Handschriften", in Manfred Thaller, editor,
    *Codices Electronici Ecclesiae Coloniensis: Eine mittelalterliche
    Kathedralbibliothek in digitaler Form* (Goettingen: Duehrkohp &
    Radicke, 2001), 107-143, is a survey of work on OCR for handwriting.
    There are lots of references (the bibliography is ten pages long), but
    the general sense is that it's still not adequate for actual use yet.
