Hello,

To point you in the right direction, please answer the following questions:

1) How many handwritings are you targetting for?
2) Digits only or also letters?

Can you post an image of the handwriting?

The documents on which you will be performing OCR, are they available in good quality?
Otherwise you will have to perform image processing to improve the image quality (contrast / brightness / invert...)

Handwriting would of a random NGO worker, the language would be English.
and yea, they will be available in good quality as the user will be snaping the pic at the same time when he wants to get the ouput and send it to the NGO server database.

Thanks and Regards,
