#128 Handwriting Recognizion for Xournal++

[AndreasB]

Maybe Cellwriter, or maybe ocropus: http://code.google.com/p/ocropus/

The main goal: Search within handwritten Text.

I even found some more:
xstroke (http://davesource.com/Projects/xstroke/): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YzV9QTTB6ys

a further program which implements handwriting recognition ist
yudit (http://www.yudit.org/en/howto/freehand/)

[AndreasB]

Thank you, I have to look at this, but currently I have no time to develop, hope I have more time in a few weeks...

But Handwriting recognition would be really interesting...

Dear Andreas,

Being a Professor in these days of lockdown, I am using your great free software more frequently. Though this feature request is pretty old and each of us are busy, I think, its relevance has increased by many folds in the recent time. I have looked at the other FLOSS alternatives such as STIHRS https://sourceforge.net/projects/stihrs/ and wondering if such a module can be linked to Xournal++.

I, being a Civil Engineer, do not have much experience in software engineering as such, but I am an avid user of FLOSS for my teaching and research. However, some of my students are good at such jobs and I can possibly get them involved, if you guide them a bit how to go about it.

Would like to listen to you.

Sincere thanks for providing us your time to build, maintain and improve your very useful software Xournal++. I know, from my system updates, that you are adding new builds to the Ubuntu PPA, almost daily.

With warm regards

Sukumar
