You start by doing research on how OCR works. You'll need to research neural networks and how they apply to writing recognition. Be warned, handwriting is the hardest of OCR to do. Don't expect 100% accuracy.

You start with the articles here on CP, click here[^].

No time to study? You're screwed then.

You obviously didn't bother to try and read any of the articles in the search results I linked to.

Good luck. You're going to flunk this project.
