Recognizing scanned handwriting is much harder than allowing handwriting as direct input from a touchscreen.
"Online" handwriting recognition takes as input pen locations over time (strokes), and outputs the corresponding words. "Offline" handwriting recognition takes an image of handwriting. It is much harder, since it has much less information.
