 Introduction
In this world of technologies and new inventions, a great role in the future of this world is played
by students as one of the main factors. Students are recognized for their hard work and
dedication. The traditional methods are still being used to teach the students. Boards, markers,
paper, pencils, etc., are still used by the schools. However, these methods can be a hassle for the
students. To overcome these problems, Scriptify is being developed. Scriptify will be able to take
any image and convert the text within it into a text document. This system is being made with the
help of Python. This will be time-saving and accessible to every student. Scriptify can be used by
combining traditional methods, as it will be cost-effective. The handwritten text from the white
board in classrooms can be scanned and converted into a text document. By implementing
Scriptify, the most important needs of students will be addressed. A modern and efficient
approach to the future of learning will be offered by this system. The converted text document
can be accessed by students to revise their notes or rewrite them. Scriptify can be one of the
factors that can improve the future of students. Student’s academic status will be elevated by
using Scriptify. It can be considered the key point for the future of learning.

 User Research
To understand the problems faced by the learners in their academics, we conducted interviews to
highlight the challenges faced by students in their academics and the teacher’s point of view on
these problems. Our friend Unnav said, “Sometimes, I find it difficult to organize my notes or
sometimes I can’t even read my own handwriting.” This shows the difficulties faced by
learners in note-taking and organizing which hampers their understanding on specific topics.
Another student said, “I often miss classes by going to basketball matches and it becomes
difficult to catch up on my studies.” This reflects the challenges faced by athletes and students
who participate in extracurriculars to stay on track in their academics. Our class teacher stated,
“The student’s studies are being hindered because of missing class and being unable to
catch up in class”. This emphasizes the problems and struggle of missed notes. These are the
struggles encountered by the students daily in their school journey. Learners that are unable to
attend school regularly because of sickness or additional reasons, athletes missing classes for
games, students who participate in extracurricular activities or those who misplace their notes or
struggle with organizing often face difficulty to keep on track with their academics. Chart 1
shows the percentage of the students who have trouble understanding missed class notes to be
very high as 76% of students interviewed have at least some forms of difficulty in reading them.
Out of 21 total interviewed students from our school 13 of them have some form of difficulty in
understanding their own handwriting after taking notes.

 Project Goals
The Scriptify project aims to improve learning by converting handwritten boards and notebook
notes into digital text documents. This system will help students and teachers save time, enhance
accessibility, and make it easier to understand and revise the curriculum. Combining traditional
teaching methods with modern technology, Scriptify will support more efficient and effective
learning. The goals of Scriptify are listed below:

1. To create a system that allows students and teachers to easily convert handwritten notes
and information into easily readable documents.
2. To help students overcome difficulties in reading unclear handwriting, ensuring they can
easily read and comprehend class material.
3. To provide a simple, efficient way for teachers to share notes and important class
information with all students, ensuring no one falls behind.
4. To allow learners to easily search their notes during the exams without having to turn the
pages of their notebook.

 Problem Statement
“Students lose notes in paper piles, struggle to read messy handwriting, can’t be present in
school every day, struggle to see from afar, and can’t share study materials fast, while
teachers find it hard to distribute resources quickly; leaving everyone stuck managing
papers instead of learning or teaching.”

Nowadays, there has been a development in the extracurricular activities in schools which has
led to many students skipping classes for games and having the problem of balancing
extracurriculars and studies. Students who miss class due to extracurricular activities or other
reasons are unable to access the notes covered in class and the important information written on
the board. Many students lose their notes which might be important for the curriculum or maybe
can't understand their teacher’s or friend’s handwriting when they try to cover up their absent
work. Not all students have the same ability to take notes quickly or accurately. It is also not
possible for teachers to share the information taught in class with everyone absent or the ones
who are not there. This will result in everyone trying to find their papers and notes rather than
studying for the curriculum. Students face difficulties when they find problems while revising at
home if they don't understand something. These problems not only stop the students from
achieving success but also stops the growth of knowledge.

Therefore, the problem we aim to solve with this project is the difficulty students face in
accessing class notes and important information when they miss classes for extracurricular
activities or other reasons. Current methods of taking notes are often unclear, inconsistent, or
lost, making it hard for students to catch up. Our goal is to create a system that converts
handwritten text into digital text, making it easier for students to access and understand the
material they missed. This will help students stay on track with their studies, even if they are
absent, and ensure they don’t fall behind in their learning

 Proposed Solution
To help students who miss or don’t understand study material, we created Scriptify. Scriptify
turns handwritten notes into digital text using Optical Character Recognition (OCR). This way,
students can easily access notes from their class or home anytime, without worrying about
missed lessons.

Scriptify will use a model that recognizes handwriting and turns it into text. Instead of relying on
existing datasets, we will create our own dataset of handwritten sentences to better suit our
needs. We will clean and prepare the handwritten notes to ensure the system can recognize them
clearly. The model will be trained to improve over time, ensuring accurate and readable text.

Once the text is converted, the system will store it in an organized way that makes it easy for
students to find and use. The platform will have a simple interface, developed using Tinker,
where students can easily view, edit, and download their notes.
