# IAM handwritten text recognition
This model performs Handwritten Text Recognition in English on modern documents.
## Model description
The model was trained using the PyLaia library on the [IAM database](https://fki.tic.heia-fr.ch/databases/iam-handwriting-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.
## Evaluation results
The model achieves the following results:
| set | Language model | CER (%) | WER (%) | N lines |
|:------|:---------------|:----------:|:-------:|----------:|
| test | no | 8.44 | 24.51 | 2915 |
| test | yes | 7.50 | 20.98 | 2915 |
## How to use
