We will prepare a detailed synopsis for your college submission. Includes problem statement, objectives, DFD, ER diagram, and more.

A simple web app that converts photos of handwritten digits and notes into editable text using a convolutional neural network trained on public handwriting datasets.

Problem Statement

Typing up handwritten notes, forms, and answer sheets is slow and error prone. Students need an approachable project that covers the full ML workflow end to end.

Objectives

1

Train a CNN on MNIST and EMNIST datasets

2

Preprocess uploaded images with OpenCV

3

Segment lines and characters before recognition

4

Serve predictions through a web interface

Modules

M1

Model Training

CNN training notebook with accuracy and confusion matrix reports.

M2

Image Preprocessing

Thresholding, noise removal, and character segmentation.

M3

Recognition API

Flask endpoint that returns recognized text for an uploaded image.

M4

Web UI

Upload or draw on a canvas and copy or download the recognized text.

Expected Output

A web page where the user uploads a handwritten image or draws on a canvas and sees the recognized text instantly.

Future Scope

Cursive handwriting support with sequence models, Hindi and regional scripts, and a mobile camera scanner.
