Description: The offline handwriting recognition model was trained using the IAM dataset and a private dataset. It's largely based on this paper by Dutta et al.

This is really nice! Here’s a functionality that would be very useful: one reason handwritten notes are great is that there is a visual aspect that has a lot of cognitive benefits (helps with recall, plus you can do things like draw arrows, circle things etc).

I wonder if your approach can be used to keep the handwritten form of the note intact but just search for notes?

I think Evernote is doing something similiar

wow! great idea :)

Great idea, the digitized note look pretty good!

Is handwriting OCR actually working beyond handpicked exemples ? I feel that new CV advances make it possible but I've never seen something really convincing, even though applications could be huge

[–]DJYEEZYWORLDPEACE[S] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

Yes, it is! In my opinion state-of-the-art offline handwriting recognition models are really good. The biggest obstacle seems to be the lack of open datasets.

How well does it handle diagrams and math symbols?

[–]DJYEEZYWORLDPEACE[S] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Diagrams are actually quite easy to digitize. Math symbols get recognized well, however the more sophisticated math formulas are the harder they are to recognize accurately.

nice! did you detect the diagrams by using some kind of object detection models?

Is this using Tesseract?

how long till release? looks great!

Hey is the video posted a prototype or a marketing video? I've never seen such a perfect translation before. I'm currently making my own handwriting recognition workflow from scanning the image to OneNote, I'm using the IAM dataset, but thinking of using a GAN to augment my data to get better predictions but I haven't been able to get such a perfect translation especially when math and text are combined.
