OCR is considered a solved problem in general but not in entirety
A key component of it, HTR is still a challenging problem.
Handwriting Text Recognition(HTR) is the task of recognizing handwritten human text
It involves using both Computer Vision and NLP
Every person has a different style of handwriting , thus solving HTR is much more difficult than OCR
In this article I cover the progress of techniques in solving HTR and various SOTA models
In addition I have discussed the way to train your own HTR model on your own dataset
