Hi Jonathan,
I have developed something quite crude, to only detect computer-written
SignWriting using what's called "template matching".
I never attempted handwritten SignWriting OCR, and it's not on my work plan
for the current future...
My apologies if I got your hopes up regarding this area :) It would be
great to have such a tool someday.
(btw if you are curious at how I would do it:
1. take some handwritten signwriting and matching computer writing
2. train a GAN to take any signwriting and convert it to look like
handwritten
3. convert all of signbank, then train an OCR model)
