This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in English on modern documents.
The model was trained using the PyLaia library on the RWTH split of the IAM database.
For training, text-lines were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.

An external 6-gram character language model can be used to improve recognition. The language model is trained on the text from the IAM training set.
The model achieves the following results:
set | Language model | CER (%) | WER (%) | N lines |
---|---|---|---|---|
test | no | 8.44 | 24.51 | 2,915 |
test | yes | 7.50 | 20.98 | 2,915 |
