✍️ Handwritten Line Text Recognition (HTR)
This project implements a Handwritten Line Text Recognition (HTR) system using Deep Learning with TensorFlow.
The model is based on a CRNN (CNN + BiLSTM + CTC) architecture and can recognize handwritten English text lines from images.
Deployed on Hugging Face Spaces using Gradio.
🚀 How It Works
Image → CNN → BiLSTM → Dense → CTC Decode → Text Output
The model:
- Extracts visual features using Convolutional layers
- Models sequence dependencies with Bidirectional LSTM
- Uses CTC decoding to predict variable-length text
