Abstract
Handwriting recognition is a technique used to interpret intelligible handwritten input and convert it into digital text using Machine Learning tools. This research paper provides a comparison of the application of CRNN and CNN for handwriting recognition, using a dataset containing about 370,000 handwritten names. Our experiments demonstrate that the CRNN hybrid model produces the highest accuracy compared to the CNN model. This paper summarises contributions reported on the A-Z Handwritten Alphabets in .csv format dataset for handwritten character recognition. This dataset has been extensively used to validate novel techniques in computer vision. This paper makes a distinction between those works using some kind of data augmentation and works using the original dataset
