# Handwriting Recognition on IAM Single Line (test) Source: [Handwriting Recognition on IAM Single Line (test)]() Collection index: [llms.txt]() Data updated: 2026-02-26T05:52:25.366Z Evaluation of Handwriting Recognition performance on the test split of the IAM Single Line dataset, measured by Character Error Rate (CER) with and without Language Model constraints. A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage. | Scope | Recorded value | | --- | --- | | Task | Handwriting Recognition | | Dataset (including any stated split) | IAM Single Line (test) | | Metric | Mean Test CER (w/o LM) | | Unit | PERCENT | | Direction | Lower is better | | Results loaded | 5 of 5 | | Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark | Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol. ## Metrics - [Mean Test CER (w/o LM)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Corpus CER (w/o LM)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Mean Test CER (w/ LM)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. - [Corpus CER (w/ LM)](): Lower is better; unit: PERCENT. ## Recorded results | Method | Mean Test CER (w/o LM) | Result date | Report paper | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Kang et al. | 4.7 | Not recorded | 68fa6cd71e209131cea36299 | | Puigcerver | 5.8 | Not recorded | 68fa6cd71e209131cea36299 | | Wigington et al. | 6.4 | Not recorded | 68fa6cd71e209131cea36299 | | Wang et al. | 6.4 | Not recorded | 68fa6cd71e209131cea36299 | | FPHR+Aug | 6.5 | Not recorded | 68fa6cd71e209131cea36299 | ### Kang et al.
