I've been interested in using ML hand writing recognition to create a font out of my own hand writing. But I don't know where to even start. Would someone know where I could find information to help me figure this out? Or if it's been done before?

To create a font you don't have to use ML. Only some photoshop skill. Do you mean to make a program that will recognize your handwriting and output the text?

Basically I have a cnc machine I want to use to write out typed documents in my handwriting. But I am not familiar with a way to build my hand writing as a font. But I stumbled on a video that was doing it in reverse where it took a page of hand written notes and typed it out. So I was trying to reverse that process

I am just learning so I won't be of help but I want to gather the requirements:

You want to create a font out of your handwriting. Does your handwriting connect the letters? If not, then are you fine with the letters like "A" being the same or have a finite amount of variations in the whole text you are making with your CNC machine? If yes then it would be easier to do it manually. Unless you want to have more than like 8 fonts I guess.

No it doesn't, and I would like some variation if possible for each letter. But I don't know if that is an option? It sound like manual is the way to go. I will look into making my own font then 🙂
