✍️ Hand writing generation

The objective of this project is to be able to:

1. Classify hand-written characters
2. Generate realistic hand-written characters in a given style

Downloading the dataset

The dataset can be download from Kaggle. You can either download this:

• Directly from the website
• Using the Kaggle API as follows:

  !kaggle datasets download -d sachinpatel21/az-handwritten-alphabets-in-csv-format -p data --unzip

Using the interactive dashboard

To classify your own hand-written characters and generate synthetic characters in your own hand-writing style, you can use the interactive streamlit dashboard. This is hosted on Streamlit Cloud.

You can also launch the dashboard locally by running the following command:

streamlit run dashboard.py
