AI Assist is quite an interesting new feature on FTP. On the first page, I used it to show the detected text, transcribed that text, and then made corrections. The correction step was akin to doing a page review of a transcription that had more than the occasional error.

On the next page. I used the AI Assist to, copy and paste the generated text, and then made corrections. I found that the copied text did not always align the text into the correct line in the record. I had to shuffle generated text some to correct it.

Not sure how much time (if any) was saved with either technique. I am leaning towards the technique I used the first time since shuffling word order adds a layer of effort and time.

Regardless, the feature has good potential to help. Especially, if the feature/capability improves over time either within a project, or over all projects. I am quite impressed with the ability to read the handwriting. I would love to see this feature in action on other projects. I wonder if this is a feature with a cost for the project owner?

Thank you for your feedback on the AI Assist! We are a part of the beta test for this feature, and is not an extra cost at this time. I agree that it's not perfect but does provide a good starting point. I personally don't have issue reading the handwriting and find that it's faster to type it up without AI Assist, but it may be helpful to others with less experience or with different handwriting samples.
