[I guess it's not your project. Some ideas anyway.]

It would be nice to make an online checker, where anyone can upload an image and the site tries to check if it's good (or at least not too bad).

Honestly if you get the 3 big things the link mentions you will be ahead of many things. Recognizing when the letters aren’t joined is (I think??) very doable even for people with no reading ability. Compare these two series of exactly the same letters:

کمی فارسی بلدید

ک م ی ف ا ر س ی ن ل د ی د

The tell for which one is wrong is the one where literally none of the letters connect. This is more common than you might think.

Well the examples looked a lot more similar in the text box before I posted them. RIP.

I believe Google Translate can do that
