+# YOLOv5 Handwritten Text Detection
+
+Welcome to the Hugging Face repository for the YOLOv5 model specifically fine-tuned for handwritten text detection! This repository, hosted by armvectores, features a state-of-the-art object detection architecture that has been meticulously adapted to recognize and localize handwritten text in images and documents.
+
+## Model Description
+
+YOLOv5 is the fifth 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 YOLOv5 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.
+
+## Features
+
+- High Accuracy: Achieves impressive accuracy for detecting various styles of handwriting across different backgrounds and conditions.
+- Fast Inference: Suitable for real-time applications due to its quick processing time.
+- Easy Integration: Provides an accessible API for straightforward integration with Python applications.
+
+## Usage
+
+To utilize this model for detecting handwritten text in your images, follow the instructions below:
+
+### Environment Setup
+
+Ensure you have Python 3.6 or later installed. Then install the required packages:
+
+pip install transformers torch torchvision
+
+
+### Inference
+
+You can perform inference with the following code snippet:
+
+from transformers import Yolov5Model, Yolov5FeatureExtractor
+
+# Load model and feature extractor
+model_id = "armvectores/yolov5_handwritten_text_detection"
+feature_extractor = Yolov5FeatureExtractor.from_pretrained(model_id)
+model = Yolov5Model.from_pretrained(model_id)
+
+# Prepare your image (replace 'path/to/your/image.jpg' with your actual image path)
+image = Image.open('path/to/your/image.jpg')
+
+# Perform inference
+inputs = feature_extractor(images=image, return_tensors="pt")
+outputs = model(**inputs)
+
+# Analyze the outputs
+detections = outputs[0]
+
+# detections consist of [x_min, y_min, x_max, y_max, confidence, class]
+# Loop through detections and print results
+for detection in detections:
+    print(f"Coordinates: {detection[:4]}, Confidence: {detection[4]}")
+
+
+## Limitations
+
+While this model performs well across a wide range of handwriting styles, the accuracy may diminish in cases of extremely cursive or overlapping text. The performance is also dependent on the quality of the input images.
