Tesseract works. Not sure if its "good" compared to SOTA.

There's a port of it to Android on F-Droid called simply "OCR".

Ooof. That's not great. My hand writing is not great, but... Oof.

Hah! My cursive is indecipherable even to me the next day, but I can print just well enough that the bots can get it 90% right.

Still quicker for me to type, even on phones...

No idea what ocr means, but I did search because you asked twice.
