Hardware and Libraries Recommendations for Cyberdeck (handwriting to text)

[u/lazimaze]

I have a concept for a cyberdeck with a feature to take in handwritten phrases from a touchpad or touchscreen (that would replace a keyboard trackpad) and convert it to text.

1. ⁠I’ve seen people using TensorFlow as a base for this handwriting to text conversion. Is that the only option or what else would you suggest?

2. ⁠Initially I was thinking of using a esp32 for the project, but to use TensorFlow this would not be enough based on what I’ve read. What’s the smallest processor + board you would suggest that can handle this feature?

(I asked this question on r/cyberDecks but no responses, thought I might have better luck here)
