Handwritten
Homework could have been so much easier if only it could be submitted as a typed copy.
Using Alex Graves' paper on handwriting generation is a step I liked.
This script uses his amazing paper (actually the free service he has set up online) to
generate handwritten homework for given text.
Requirements
- python3.x
pip install requestspip install pillow
Or you can do pipenv install --python3
