This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in Austrian German.
The model has been trained using the PyLaia library on the NewsEye / READ OCR training dataset from Austrian Newspapers (19th C.) dataset.
Training images were resized with a fixed height of 128 pixels, keeping the original aspect ratio.
