Hi, Tony.

2:15

Hey, Kim. How you doing?

2:18

Great. What's going on?

2:19

I can't believe I'm talking to you. I've been listening to you on the phone for many, many, many years.

2:21

You've been on hold that long? We are so sorry, Tony.

2:27

I mean, normally we try to get you Within a few hours, I mean.

2:32

Well, I've got a question. And the question is, I'd like to take my writings, my handwritten cursive handwriting notes and stories and stories about my family and genealogy.

2:37

Okay.

2:59

All that good stuff.

2:59

Yeah. There's. There's reams and reams of it. And in the past, I have had some luck with optical character recognition, but it had to be typed.

3:01

Mm.

3:12

And so I could do that. And now that I have all this, I said, well, shoes, we can probably find something that can. Can do that. And I've searched and searched. I've gone to my geek friends. Nobody seems to know.

3:13

But you know what? You didn't go to the right source. Okay? You did all this before you called me America's digital goddess. Why did you even waste your time?

3:27

I can't believe I didn't think of that first. Kim.

3:39

All right. Okay. So here you got a couple of options. You can use Microsoft OneNote, Google Lens. You can try to see if it works. Try to see if it works. And these are some free options. And it does do handwriting, ocr. But is your handwriting any good?

3:42

The Palmer method. So it's pretty good.

4:01

The Palmer Method.

4:04

Robert Palmer. Is your handwriting simply irresistible?

4:06

You know how to make. How to make those letters and make it readable. But nobody can read recursive anymore. My girls can't even read my handwriting.

4:13

No, it's just cursive is. Cursive is done.

4:23

I think I talked about it here.

4:26

On the show that archives.gov they're actually looking for volunteers, people who can read cursive handwriting because we have thousands and thousands of documents from the Revolutionary War that were done in cursive handwriting, and nobody can read them, and the computer can't read them. So, anyway, so that said, there's an app called Transcribe Bus, and I'm going to spell it for you because it's a tech thing, meaning that we always leave out a whole bunch of letters. It's trans T R A N S K R I B U S. And it's really good for messy cursive or just regular cursive handwriting, because it will actually learn. It's AI based, so it'll learn how you write. It will figure out the letters, and then once you transcribe this, then you can put it into a book. You can do whatever you want with it. Makes sense.

4:27

That's great. It makes sense.

5:21

So what's the best. What's the best story you have in all these books?

5:24

Oh, my last job. My best job I dealt with, with elderly. And my parents always told me, if you want to make somebody think that you're very interesting, ask them about themselves. And so I asked these people and they would tell me stories and I'd ask him, you know, have you ever met anybody famous? You know, where have you traveled? I've got the greatest stories from people who worked in the Peace Corps and, you know, in villages, from people who were at Bikini Atoll when they were testing the bombs.

5:29

Wow.

6:10

One lady was an actress and she kissed. I said, what was your best time? She said, I kissed Dustin Hoffman. But it was tough because I was supposed to be dead.

6:11

And hopefully it wasn't. What was that movie where he was. What was that movie in San Francisco where he was the nanny? Dustin Hoffman. Do you remember that nanny? No, no, no. Tootsie, Tootsie, Tootsie, yes. She had to be dead.

6:24

I don't remember the scene where Tootsie was making out with a dead body. So it must have been a different movie.

6:39

I don't remember that either. Transcribus or you want to use Google Lens or Microsoft OneNote? Microsoft OneNote.
