johannessimon81 on 02 Sep 16Similar work has been around for several years: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~graves/handwriting.html (as mentioned in the video). I think this could be nicely applied for procedurally generated handwritten post cards (e.g. invitation, thank you cards for weddings, funerals, child birth, etc.) where the sender would otherwise have to write dozens of cards. Anybody interested to start a business? ;-P
