# YOLOv8 Handwritten Text Detection


## Model Description

YOLOv8 is the eighth version of the You Only Look Once (YOLO) object detection algorithm. It excels in speed and accuracy, making it an ideal choice for real-time applications. The YOLOv8 model provided here has been fine-tuned on a diverse dataset of handwritten texts to improve its specificity in detecting handwritten content as opposed to typed or printed materials.


## How to use

```
pip install ultralytics
```

```
from ultralytics import YOLO
from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download

# Load the weights from our repository
model_path = hf_hub_download(local_dir=".",
                             repo_id="armvectores/yolov5_handwritten_text_detection",
                             filename="best.pt")
model = YOLO(model_path)

# Load test blank
test_blank_path = hf_hub_download(local_dir=".",
                             repo_id="armvectores/yolov5_handwritten_text_detection",
                             filename="test_blank.png")
# Do the predictions
model.predict(source=test_blank, save=True, show=True, show_labels=False, show_conf=False, conf=0.3)
```
