Recognition of Written Numbers

Good Morning Everybody, 

I have started working on an educational app, and wanted to get kids to write out numbers on the screen. Is there a current plugin that supports recognizing input written on screen. I haven’t been able to find anything similar yet, but I feel like that has to have been a problem someone has already solved. 

Thank you!

Can you explain a little more of what you want?

Thanks!

If a user draws on the screen, is a plugin to determine if what they drew was a number. I understand how to do “finger painting”, I was wondering if there was a way to determine if what the user drew to be a number. I’m sorry I don’t really know any other way to put that. 

I understand… You mean like speech recognition ?.. But not speech but hand writing?.. If so I’m not aware of any plugin like that… You’ll have to wait for someone else to come by this topic… Sorry.

Hi.

If the numbers should match some “master” mold, say tracing over a faded-out numeral, with a known style and orientation, this would probably be fairly easy, just by comparing percent of “pixels” on- and off-pattern.

Otherwise, this is part of a big problem that is still being solved.  :) Any immediate suggestions I could make I think I brought up here.

Having obtained Enterprise since the linked post, I’ve actually begun looking at ArrayFire, with a plugin in mind. It’s a different part of the API that I want for my own use, but I would of course aim for completeness all the same. Unfortunately, this is probably still a few weeks away, best case.
