hi, this is not relevant to programming directly. But i feel, people in this forum, can help me. I am developing offline English handwritten OCR application using OpenCV and LibSVM. i need some dataset for train my application. I search the google and found few, but some of them are not free, some datasets are only for printed text.. likewise there are many problems. It must be Free, English and Handwritten dataset. Can anyone suggest me available dataset for that ? Plz help.
