Context

My wife would say my handwriting is illegible. I wanted an objective assessment.

Approach

  • Created three models of varying complexity to learn to read handwritten digits.
  • Trained models on 60,000 handwritten digits.

Impact

  • Model 3 (the most complex) was the most accurate, with 99.1% accuracy.
  • My handwriting was determined to be 72.5% legible, with digits 0, 3, 5, and 8 the most illegible.
  • My wife was correct in her assessment of my poor handwriting.
