This is an explanatory video that gives a short overview of the CoWriting Kazakh project(1) that aims to implement an autonomous behavior of a social robot that would assist and motivate children in learning a new script and its associated handwriting. The system integrates a real-time handwriting recognition of the Kazakh language to automatically convert Cyrillic to Latin. The algorithm was trained on the Cyrillic-MNIST dataset(2) that contains more than 120,000 samples from more than 100 people. The system was utilized in the experiment with 67 children [1].
