Handwriting recognition app - serko43 - 05-01-2023

Hey there,


I am a German student at TH-Köln in my last semester and I am working on my final thesis.
My work is about the development of a note app that is able to recognize handwriting. Actually it is important for the project and the next steps to explore how far the state of such an app for the PineNote is. Is there anyone in this community who knows of such a software for the PineNote or a developer currently working on such a project? If there is someone who is developing such an app, it is in my interest to network and share experiences. Tips and experience reports also from general app development for the PineNote are welcome.

For the implementation of this software, I will use the cross-platform framework Qt with C++ as the programming language. I will also be using TensorFlow.

I would be very happy to receive comments and your opinion on the project idea and share your experiences.


Many greetings from cologne  Big Grin

How has your thesis gone?  Did anyone get with you on this?  I am very interested in the Pinenote and am really hoping for a product that is useful and usable!

I really think this handwriting recognition is going to go somewhere.
The future is sure to have it!

One I saw that was really cool was automated check scanning. Old lisp derivative called Lush. Written by Yann LeCun who is as per his page Chief AI Scientist, Meta. The quote about the checks was:
a handwriting recognition system used by many banks across the world to read checks automatically. In fact, some ATM machines made by NCR (that can read checks) run compiled SN code on embedded DSP boards. A version of this check reader written in SN is embedded in large check reading engines sold by NCR and OrboGraph. According to some estimates, this system automatically reads between 10 and 20 percent of all the checks written in the US.
not shabby for a DSP embed-able recognition engine...

Wonder how it compares to resource utilization vs a TensorFlow GPU derived solution. Smile

There are already a few handwriting recognition libraries available, e.g.:
