<span id="orcid-id" class="orcid-id-https">These days there is a huge demand in “storing the information available in paper documents into a computer storage disk”. Digitizing manual filled forms lead to handwriting recognition, a process of translating handwriting into machine editable text. The main objective of this research is to to create an Android application able to recognize and predict the output of handwritten characters by training a neural network model. This research will implement deep neural network in recognizing handwritten text recognition especially to recognize digits, Latin / Alphabet and Hiragana, capture an image or choose the image from gallery to scan the handwritten text from the image, use the live camera to detect the handwritten text real – time without capturing an image and could copy the results of the output from the off-line recognition and share it to other platforms such as notes, Email, and social media. </span>

This article considers the task of handwritten text recognition using attention-based encoder–decoder networks trained in the Kazakh and Russian languages. We have developed a novel deep neural network model based on a fully gated CNN, supported by multiple bidirectional gated recurrent unit (BGRU) and attention mechanisms to manipulate sophisticated features that achieve 0.045 Character Error Rate (CER), 0.192 Word Error Rate (WER), and 0.253 Sequence Error Rate (SER) for the first test dataset and 0.064 CER, 0.24 WER and 0.361 SER for the second test dataset. Our proposed model is the first work to handle handwriting recognition models in Kazakh and Russian languages. Our results confirm the importance of our proposed Attention-Gated-CNN-BGRU approach for training handwriting text recognition and indicate that it can lead to statistically significant improvements (p-value < 0.05) in the sensitivity (recall) over the tests dataset. The proposed method’s performance was evaluated using handwritten text databases of three languages: English, Russian, and Kazakh. It demonstrates better results on the Handwritten Kazakh and Russian (HKR) dataset than the other well-known models.

Handwritten Text Recognition

Recently, demand for handwriting recognition, such as automation of mail sorting, license plate recognition, and electronic memo pads, has exponentially increased in various industrial fields. In addition, in the image recognition field, methods using artificial convolutional neural networks, which show outstanding performance, have been applied to handwriting recognition. However, owing to the diversity of recognition application fields, the number of dimensions in the learning and reasoning processes is increasing. To solve this problem, a principal component analysis (PCA) technique is used for dimensionality reduction. However, PCA is likely to increase the accuracy loss due to data compression. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a line-segment feature analysis (LFA) algorithm for input dimensionality reduction in handwritten text recognition. This proposed algorithm extracts the line segment information, constituting the image of input data, and assigns a unique value to each segment using 3 × 3 and 5 × 5 filters. Using the unique values to identify the number of line segments and adding them up, a 1-D vector with a size of 512 is created. This vector is used as input to machine-learning. For the performance evaluation of the method, the Extending Modified National Institute of Standards and Technology (EMNIST) database was used. In the evaluation, PCA showed 96.6% and 93.86% accuracy with k-nearest neighbors (KNN) and support vector machine (SVM), respectively, while LFA showed 97.5% and 98.9% accuracy with KNN and SVM, respectively.

AbstractAmharic ("Image missing") is the official language of the Federal Government of Ethiopia, with more than 27 million speakers. It uses an Ethiopic script, which has 238 core and 27 labialized characters. It is a low-resourced language, and a few attempts have been made so far for its handwritten text recognition. However, Amharic handwritten text recognition is challenging due to the very high similarity between characters. This paper presents a convolutional recurrent neural networks based offline handwritten Amharic word recognition system. The proposed framework comprises convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for feature extraction from input word images, recurrent neural network (RNNs) for sequence encoding, and connectionist temporal classification as a loss function. We designed a custom CNN model and compared its performance with three different state-of-the-art CNN models, including DenseNet-121, ResNet-50 and VGG-19 after modifying their architectures to fit our problem domain, for robust feature extraction from handwritten Amharic word images. We have conducted detailed experiments with different CNN and RNN architectures, input word image sizes, and applied data augmentation techniques to enhance performance of the proposed models. We have prepared a handwritten Amharic word dataset, HARD-I, which is available publicly for researchers. From the experiments on various recognition models using our dataset, a WER of 5.24 % and CER of 1.15 % were achieved using our best-performing recognition model. The proposed models achieve a competitive performance compared to existing models for offline handwritten Amharic word recognition.

This paper introduces a novel technique to recognize the handwritten text by using Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network along with Connectionist Temporal Classification. This model makes use of the IAM dataset. Offline Signature Verification (SV) is another challenging task in the field of biometrics. This paper demonstrates a novel technique to verify the signature as an original or forged one, and makes use of the Convolutional Siamese network.

Hierarchical Representations

In recent years, deep learning (DL) based systems have become very popular for constructing hierarchical representations from unlabeled data. Moreover, DL approaches have been shown to exceed foregoing state of the art machine learning models in various areas, by pattern recognition being one of the more important cases. This paper applies Convolutional Deep Belief Networks (CDBN) to textual image data containing Arabic handwritten script (AHS) and evaluated it on two different databases characterized by the low/high-dimension property. In addition to the benefits provided by deep networks, the system is protected against over-fitting. Experimentally, the authors demonstrated that the extracted features are effective for handwritten character recognition and show very good performance comparable to the state of the art on handwritten text recognition. Yet using Dropout, the proposed CDBN architectures achieved a promising accuracy rates of 91.55% and 98.86% when applied to IFN/ENIT and HACDB databases, respectively.

Handwriting Detection is a technique or ability of a Computer to receive and interpret intelligible handwritten input from source such as paper documents, touch screen, photo graphs etc. Handwritten Text recognition is one of area pattern recognition. The purpose of pattern recognition is to categorizing or classification data or object of one of the classes or categories. Handwriting recognition is defined as the task of transforming a language represented in its spatial form of graphical marks into its symbolic representation. Each script has a set of icons, which are known as characters or letters, which have certain basic shapes. The goal of handwriting is to identify input characters or image correctly then analyzed to many automated process systems. This system will be applied to detect the writings of different format. The development of handwriting is more sophisticated, which is found various kinds of handwritten character such as digit, numeral, cursive script, symbols, and scripts including English and other languages. The automatic recognition of handwritten text can be extremely useful in many applications where it is necessary to process large volumes of handwritten data, such as recognition of addresses and postcodes on envelopes, interpretation of amounts on bank checks, document analysis, and verification of signatures. Therefore, computer is needed to be able to read document or data for ease of document processing.
