I’ve actually found my cursive to be much more reliable to OCR. I think it’s because I explicitly learned cursive when I picked up fountain pens as an adult, as a result my letter forms are consistent. Maybe not “correct”, but consistent.
I even went through a period where I used the “long s” in my script, and I was able to get that to OCR just fine after some training.

may have something to do with cursive letters having more "features". I only assume it's harder to OCR but that needs proof. I think it's safe to say that reading cursive is slower for humans.
