Abstract: Recognition of handwritten text is still an unresolved research problem in the field of optical character recognition. This article suggests an efficient method for creating handwritten text recognition systems. This is a challenging subject that has received a lot of attention recently. A discipline known as optical character recognition makes it possible to convert many kinds of texts or photos into editable, searchable, and analyzable data. Researchers have been using artificial intelligence and machine learning methods to automatically evaluate printed and handwritten documents during the past ten years in order to digitize them. This review paper’s goals are to present research directions and a summary of previous studies on character recognition in handwritten texts. Since different people have different handwriting styles, handwritten characters might be challenging to read. Our “Digitization of handwritten notes” research and effort is to categorize and identify characters in the south Indian language of Kannada. The characters are extracted from printed texts and pre-processed using NumPy and OpenCV before being fed through a CNN.
