Analysis of Teeline Shorthand Recognition using Machine Learning and Deep Learning Techniques.

Abstract

In order to take notes of the speech delivered by the VIPs in the short time short hand language is employed. Mainly there are two shorthand languages namely Pitman and Teeline. An automatic shorthand language recognition system is essential in order to make use of the handheld devices for speedy conversion to the original text. The paper addresses and compares the recognition of the Teeline alphabets using the Machine learning (SVM and KNN) and deep learning (CNN) techniques. The dataset has been prepared using the digital pen and the same is processed and stored using the android application. The prepared dataset is fed to the proposed system and accuracy of recognition is compared. Deep learning technique gave higher accuracy compared to machine learning techniques. MATLAB 2018b platform is used for implementation of the experimental setup.
