Can ML Kit for Firebase be used for handwritten text?

Concerning the new ML Kit for Firebase, all the examples I have seen from Google is recognizing "machine" text, but I was wondering if it is possible to use the new ML Kit for Firebase to extract handwritten characters as well?

I think not, but I cannot find the information in the documentation or anywhere (and no I have not tried to actually use ML Kit yet).

Right now, ML Kit does not work for a generic handwritten text sample but only on handwritten text that is very well written and sparse. We are considering adding support for it in the upcoming releases.
