My old palm IIIxe you could type by writing like half a letter with the stylus and it would come out rightmachine learning... it's possible. The hand writing makes the app work harder, in terms of running algorithms that compare against known character styles. The "styles" definitions can be updated to take in account modifications that successfully tricked the system. As j23 mentioned, checking against a set of words, the app can actually guess some words.
I have first hand experience with converting the text in an image to a string. Not easy, but far from impossible.
