Abstract

Handwriting is a skill to express thoughts, ideas, and language. Over the years, medical doctors have been well-known for having illegible cursive handwritings and has been a generally accepted matter. The datasets used in this paper are samples of doctors cursive handwriting collected from several clinics and hospitals of Metro Manila, Quezon City and Taytay, Rizal. In this paper, we present the Handwriting Recognition System using Deep Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network that is developed in order to identify the text in the image of prescriptions written by the doctors and show the readable text conversion of the cursive handwriting. In this study two models were evaluated and based on the experimentation CRNN with model-based normalization scheme than the CRNN alone. This study achieved 76% training accuracy rate and the developed model was found successfully implemented in a mobile application, having achieved a validation accuracy of 72% for the validation set from the remaining 540 images of prescription. The mobile application was validated for the second time using the captured 48 handwriting samples written by the researchers and correctly identified 17 images out of 48 this gives us a 35% validation accuracy.
