Read and translate a handwritten postcard

A postcard in Russian cursive was hard to read and full of noise. Gemini transcribed and translated it into English, even though nobody told it the language was Russian.

Steps

  1. Take a clear photo.
  2. Ask for a transcription and a translation.
  3. If it matters, have a native speaker check it.
