Can we use for other languages ? about handwriting-synthesis

You'd have to collect training data similar to the data used for this project (http://www.fki.inf.unibe.ch/databases/iam-on-line-handwriting-database) and retrain the model.

That said, how well it would work will depend on some aspects of the language itself. For instance, it will work best if the language uses a small alphabet.

Inspecting the IAM dataset I recognized that it has full sentence sequences as input strokes and ascii coding. I am also interested in training the network for other languages, however the data I have consists only of words rather than whole sequences. Would it be possible to train it on single words in other languages only or does it really rely on sequences?

Also, would I have to train the network anew or could use the pretrained model for english if say the language to be trained is also from the almost same alphabet and has similarities to English?

Kind regards

Hi @sjvasquez Nice one

Can we do Handwriting Synthesis for other languages.Am interested to implement for Tamil language
Tamil. If possible kindly let us know.

have you meanwhile been able to train it for other languages?

Hello there,

I have recently created a Google Colab Notebook in which I go through all the steps to download and preprocess the data, as well as training the model and doing qualitative testing on a trained model.

If you have any suggestions or doubts, please don't bother to tell me! 😃

I get this error when I try to run the notebook. I mean, I am just executing the notebook cells and giving correct credentials but
how do I solve this issue?
