<p>If you have an IOS device, the app Pleco is pretty good at OCR.  Or on a Mac, the app from Cisdem does reasonably well.  But you are likely to need to correct a few characters.</p>

<p>I have a list of Chinese names in Chinese calligraphy. I'd like to enter them in a website with my mouse and have the app provide the names in a Chinese font that I can cut and paste in a Family Tree (Ancestry.com) or Word document. </p>

Google Translate has that. If you are on a phone, you may use Google Keyboard.

If what you want is to convert what you write with mouse to words that you can type with keyboard. I think [yahoo website](https://tw.yahoo.com/) in Traditional Chinese can do it. Click the pen image and you can write with your mouse. The pen image is in right side of magnifier image. Magnifier image is in right side of search bar.
