Open source handwriting OCR? (hexbear.net)

I'm looking for something that I can scan hand-written notes into and have OCR'd. Maybe one that I can even train on my handwriting. Ideally I end up with a searchable PDF of my notes.

People use one-note for this, but I'm not really comfortable with letting microsoft see my handwriting.

Can you fine tune tesseract on a local hand writing dataset ? Or insert it in context like a pre-prompt ?

It wasn't possible a year ago when pos6ted around with tesseract. Things might have changed during the last couple of months though.

None of that made Tesseract excel in capturing handwritten text...
