OCRopus does not appear to be ICR-ready at this time. From an OCRopus developer forum message on Dec 18, 2009.
Pretty much all thee old code for
handwriting recognition is there and
it's now accesssible from Python; it
should be fairly easy to script a
handwriting recognizer. However,
making it perform well will require a
lot of training and tweaks, plus
careful language modeling. Depending
on the nature of the handwritten
material, it may also be necessary to
integrate additional recognizers (HMM,
convolutional nnet).
I was looking for exactly the same as you. However, that (and other similar comments) were enough to convince me that there would be a great deal of work required to get OCRopus ready for prime time ICR. I could not in all conscience recommend it to my client right now.
Also, I see that there has not been a new release of OCRopus in over a year. Hardly reassuring.
