How do I convert hand drawn text to a string in Python?

Question

I want to create a program that will take hand drawn text from a touchscreen and convert it into a string as if a person typed it in. It's for a calendar project I'm trying to make. My wife is technically challenged and prefers to write things on a calendar instead of typing them.

Thanks, I took a quick look at it and I think it might do the trick. I'll take a closer look later today.
