The build

Step 01

Load letters

Use a labelled handwritten-letter set.

Step 02

Train a model

Build and fit a classifier for A–Z.

Step 03

Add a canvas

Let the user draw a letter.

Step 04

Recognise

Predict the letter live.

Working Principle

Like the digit model, it learns the pixel patterns of each letter, then matches a new drawing to the closest learned letter.

The science behind it

A closer look

More classes (26 letters) make the task harder; confusable pairs like O and Q need more examples.
