It's tough but my dad is quite good at it. He has books of common abbreviations and agglutinations from different centuries. After you get used to it it's faster and very fun.

We were mind blown how good Gemini was at it.

I am too. Gemini 3.0 fast on old scrawled diary entries in English from 100+ years ago got them 95% right. It also added historical context when I prefaced the images with the identity of the writer, such as summaries of an old military unit history in Europe post-WW1 it got from a very obscure U.S. Army archive.

Huge timesaver.
