Abstract

Reading a doctor's handwritten prescription is a challenge faced by most patients and some pharmacists, which in some cases can lead to negative consequences due to misinterpretation of the prescription. The "Doctor's Handwritten Prescription BD Dataset" on Kaggle contains segmented images of handwritten prescription words from BD (Bangladesh) doctors. This dataset, intended for machine learning applications, includes 4,680 individual words segmented from prescription images. This study introduces a Handwriting Recognition System using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) developed to identify text in prescription images written by doctors and convert the cursive handwriting into readable text. Two models were evaluated in this study: CNN and MobileNet. Based on the experiments, MobileNet showed better results compared to CNN alone. From the dataset of 4,680 words, 3,120 were used for training, 780 for testing, and 780 for validation. The study achieved a training accuracy of 97%, a testing accuracy of 88%, and a validation accuracy of 83%. The developed model was successfully implemented in a web application
