Any idea if this can support handwriting even with a reduced confidence? Support for non-English languages?

According to the Textract preview sign up form there is the following features:

- Printed text detection

- Handwritten text detection

- Key-Value detection

- Table detection

- Checkbox detection

- Other optical marks (e.g. barcode, QR code)

There's a decent possibility it has handwriting recognition. Not sure about the non-English languages though.

The docs page [1] (subject to change) mentions:

Do you support handwriting? – We do not support handwriting extraction.
