Should I try to OCR shorthand

image description

This is not common Gregg. It's a shorthand I created for machine readability. I've never coded any OCR solution, so there's a big initial cost to trying. The problem, as you can see, is that each shape is a word. Each inflection point is a new letter, somewhat as in cursive.

Two strategies seem possible. Either I'd need to train the meaning of each curve and split each image into parts, or I'd need to train every possible word. I'm game for either one, if either is reasonable.

Should I try this?
