Content and Style Aware Generation of Text-Line Images for Handwriting Recognition.

Article Synopsis
- Handwritten Text Recognition shows strong results in benchmarks but requires large labeled training datasets due to the variety in handwriting styles.
- To reduce the need for extensive manual labeling, synthetic data from TrueType fonts is often used, although it introduces a style bias that affects recognition accuracy.
- To overcome this, a new generative method is introduced that creates diverse handwritten text images based on visual appearance and text content, which has been shown to significantly enhance recognition performance through experimental validation.
