arXiv:2606.08858v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The automatic processing of handwritten forms remains a challenging task, wherein detection and subsequent classification of handwritten characters are essential steps. We describe a novel approach, in which both steps -- detection and classification -- are executed in one task through a deep neural network. Therefore, training data is not annotated by hand, but manufactured artificially from the underlying forms and yet existing datasets. It can be demonstrated that this single-task approach is superior in comparison to the state-of-the-art tw
