Build A Handwriting Recognizer In Python

I presented this webinar in 2018 for the students in my machine learning bootcamp.

In the webinar you’ll see me develop a handwriting recognition app in Python that automatically transcribes the handwritten digits of the MNIST dataset to digitized text. I will be using the Tensorflow library.
