EpsilonGreedy/TrOCR_small_german_handwritten

This is a small 250mio german handwriting ocr model.
It works best on images of coherent lines or phrases of text.
Does not work on multiline images.
You can find training and eval metrics in the metrics tab

Only evaluated: CER of around 4.4%
You can find the big brother over here (https://huggingface.co/fhswf/TrOCR_german_handwritten) which has CER 4.1% and WER of 17.5%. So WER will be analogous.
