Hi, Bgshih,

What's dataset the pretrained model use? Is it http://www.robots.ox.ac.uk/~vgg/data/text/mjsynth.tar.gz ?[this file is too big....] I'm confused about it.

If you have time, I hope I can receive you reply . thanks!

@pzz2011 Yes. Answer in paper.

For all the experiments for scene text recognition, we use the synthetic dataset (Synth) released by Jaderberg et al. [20] as the training data.

What are the steps to retrain the model from the synthetic dataset? For example, what is passed in as the parameters for createDataset.py?
