Very low error rate0.3% CER

Character Error Rate (CER) measures the percentage of characters incorrectly recognised. Lower is better. This model scored 0.3% on its validation set. As a rule of thumb, a CER below 10% is considered good for most handwritten material.

Measured on the model's own validation data. Results on your documents may differ depending on handwriting style, document condition, language, and how closely your material resembles the training data.
