One of the foundational scripts used in Balinese culture is the Balinese script, known as “Aksara Bali”. In its writing, Aksara Bali follows specific rules regarding distinctive stroke shapes that must be carefully maintained to preserve authenticity and readability. This study proposes the use of a hybrid algorithm combining Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) to recognize handwritten Balinese script characters. The preprocessing stage includes dataset splitting, rescaling, data augmentation, batch size adjustment, and visualization of class distribution. The training stage utilizes the Adam Optimizer to enhance model accuracy. Using 1,691 images of various Balinese script characters, the dataset is divided into an 80:10:10 ratio for training, validation, and testing. Experimental results show that the best accuracy achieved is 91%, indicating that the CNN-ELM hybrid model effectively recognizes Balinese script characters.
