Show HN: Happy Hangul Day! An RNN for Generating Korean Handwriting Strokes

This is fascinating stuff! Also, as an on-and-off longtime user of the Neo Smartpen I had never looked into whether these pens were hackable! I wish I had more samples of my father's unique and expressive handwriting with the Neo Smartpen before he succumbed to micrographia.

I've had one or two moments where it doesn't complete some strokes.

"이런걸할수 있을까" were missing it's ㅏ or ㅓ ticks and turned into "이런길할수 있을끼" or "안녕하세요" was missing the last horizontal stroke on the ㅛ

Nice! Did you find any weird/funny case while training the model? [I remember autotranlation/readers inventing stuff a few years ago.]

> Drive a real mechanical pen

> I think it would be fun to hook the output of this model up to a real pen. I'm not sure of the use case, but maybe you're an artist and have some ideas?

If you get someone to make a few samples and photos, it would be very nice.

Reminiscent of

https://tug.org/tug2003/abstracts/pdf/yiu/yiu.pdf

have you considered extending this to include support for Chinese characters?

Given that you found pressure added useful information about a stroke might be continued, do you think adding tilt angle or velocity might also help?

It seems that in some sentences, the Korean ending '다 da' is not being output. the AI definitely write better than me.

P.S. I checked the issue: when I input '다.', it outputs '다', but when I input '다', it outputs '디'.

This is really cool, I wanted to do something similar for hanzi (Chinese characters) so I could practise Chinese handwriting.
