@ptrblck I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me! The model I looked into was trained on SVHN dataset (street view house numbers). It can do up to 5 digit recognition in one go but the problem with that is the data used has bounding boxes configured and they are not handwritten digits. If I were to build something like that, I would have to do lots of data preprocessing. I thought going with a good MNIST model would be far easier. Only thing needed was how to process the image as I mentioned.
Thank you again,
