• Fine-tuned and evaluated alternative backbone architectures for the AFFGAN handwriting style encoder to better capture writer-specific features, benchmarking against the original baseline architecture and replacing the legacy VGG19 architecture with a custom Transformer-based encoder.
• Extended the system beyond word-level synthesis to line-level handwriting generation, integrating and adapting an existing line-generation architecture to support full-sentence output.
• Deployed the handwriting generation pipeline as a web application, enabling users to select a writing style, input custom text, and instantly generate a corresponding handwriting image.
• Integrated TrOCR into a teacher–student distillation framework to evaluate and improve readability of generated handwriting, improving OCR accuracy by 20% over the baseline.
• Boosted user-study pick-rates by 40%, demonstrating a significant leap in the perceptual quality and realism of the generated handwriting compared to the baseline model.
