## Dataset Description

### BEST 2019 Dataset
Contains handwritten Thai text images along with their ground truth transcriptions. The images have been processed and standardized for machine learning tasks.

### Wang Dataset
- Exclusively focuses on handwritten sentences in Thai language
- Contains 4,920 unique sentences covering various topics and themes
- Created from contributions by 2,026 users, ensuring diverse handwriting styles
- Encompasses various linguistic patterns, vocabulary, and sentence structures

## Dataset Structure

The dataset is provided in parquet file format with the following columns:

- `image`: Image data (Image type)
- `text`: Ground truth transcription of the handwritten text (String)
- `label_file`: Source label file name (String)

## Usage
