An experimental handwriting recogniser using a neural network.
This is very rudimentary and not for anything other than experimentation/reference.
Code is totally throw away.
Uses ConvNetJS (http://cs.stanford.edu/people/karpathy/convnetjs/index.html).
It consists of 2 parts:
-
a web service that is passed an image (of a handwritten number) and returns a guess at the number.
-
A web interface that allows a user to draw a number on screen and passes it to the web service.
To use:
-
clone repository
-
run npm install in the root directory (sets up web service)
-
cd interface
-
run npm install (sets up interface)
-
npm start (should start both the web service and the web interface
Connect to the web interface using http://host:3000
