Gregg shorthand is a phonetic writing system invented by **John Robert Gregg** in 1888. It was the most popular shorthand system in the English-speaking world for over a century. **Key Features:** - **Phonetic**: Based on sounds rather than spelling - **Cursive**: Written in flowing, connected strokes - **Efficient**: Much faster than longhand writing - **Geometric**: Uses circles, curves, and straight lines **Historical Uses:** - Court reporting and legal documentation - Business correspondence and meeting minutes - Journalism and news reporting - Personal note-taking and diary writing - Administrative and government records **Why Digitize?** - Preserve historical documents - Make archives searchable - Support stenography education - Research historical communications """) with gr.Accordion("đŸŽ¯ How to Get Best Results", open=False): gr.Markdown(""" ### Image Guidelines: **✅ Best Practices:** - Use **high-resolution** images (300+ DPI) - Ensure **good contrast** between ink and paper - Crop images to focus on **shorthand text only** - Keep text **right-side up** and **straight** - Use **well-lit** photos without shadows **📱 Phone Camera Tips:** - Hold steady and focus clearly - Use good lighting (natural light works best) - Avoid glare and reflections - Fill the frame with the shorthand text - Take multiple shots if needed **📄 Document Scanning:** - Scan at 300 DPI or higher - Use grayscale or color mode - Ensure flat documents without curves - Clean dust and marks if possible **âš™ī¸ Confidence Threshold:** - **Low (0.3-0.5)**: Shows more results, including uncertain ones - **Medium (0.5-0.7)**: Balanced accuracy and coverage - **High (0.7-1.0)**: Only high-confidence results """) with gr.Accordion("🔧 Technical Information", open=False): gr.Markdown(""" ### Model Architecture: This recognition system uses: - **Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN)** for visual feature extraction - **Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)** networks for sequence modeling - **Advanced pattern recognition** algorithms - **Custom preprocessing** optimized for shorthand notation ### Model Specifications: - **Input Size**: 256×256 pixels - **Framework**: PyTorch - **Training Data**: Specialized Gregg shorthand dataset - **Preprocessing**: Grayscale conversion, normalization, noise reduction ### Performance Notes: - Optimized specifically for Gregg shorthand notation - Performance varies with image quality and clarity - Best results with clear, high-contrast historical documents - Continuous improvements through user feedback ### Integration Options: **Python Package:** ```bash pip install gregg-recognition ``` **Hugging Face Transformers:** ```python from transformers import pipeline pipe = pipeline("image-to-text", model="a0a7/gregg-recognition") ``` **Command Line:** ```bash gregg-recognize image.jpg --verbose ``` """) # Event handlers process_btn.click( fn=process_image, inputs=[image_input, confidence_slider], outputs=[result_output, processed_image] ) clear_btn.click( fn=lambda: (None, "*Upload an image to see recognition results here...*", None), outputs=[image_input, result_output, processed_image] ) image_input.change( fn=process_image, inputs=[image_input, confidence_slider], outputs=[result_output, processed_image] ) # Footer gr.HTML("""
