Show HN: Handwriter.ttf – Handwriting Synthesis with Harfbuzz WASM

1. harfbuzz

   1 38 4,279 9.7 C++

   HarfBuzz text shaping engine

   

   Font includes WASM code that harfbuzz executes for shaping: https://github.com/harfbuzz/harfbuzz/blob/main/docs/wasm-sha...

   It's an experimental feature, so it's not available unless explicitly enabled during compilation.

   Handwriting synthesis with Harfbuzz WASM.

   Discontinued Branch of the spec repo scoped to discussion of SIMD in WebAssembly

   WebAssembly Micro Runtime (WAMR)

   

   Interesting artifact of time it would be. Harfbuzz uses https://github.com/bytecodealliance/wasm-micro-runtime to execute wasm, so when compiled it would be wasm runtime running under another wasm runtime.

   Handwriting generation and handwriting synthesis as described in Alex Graves's paper https://arxiv.org/abs/1308.0850. Pytorch implementation.

   

   I didn't train the model. A pretrained model is adopted from another repo [0].

   Tools for the reMarkable paper tablet

   

   Yes!

   I'm on this route myself, trying various things out at https://github.com/fenollp/reMarkable-tools

   Handwriting (in and out) support is very important IMO. Also being able to draw DAGs.

   I'd like an e-ink device with high frame rate and HW powerful enough to run some models locally or with good enough connectivity and sensors that e.g. Computer Vision tasks can be offloaded to the users' smartphone.

   Feel free to expose your ideas on there :) I welcome Open Source discussion!
