My question is related to this post in the CSE Developer Blog:
https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cse/2018/05/07/handwriting-detection-and-recognition-in-scanned-documents-using-azure-ml-package-computer-vision-azure-cognitive-services-ocr/
In the code presented in the document and repository, a Python package called CVTK is used, which contains functions to import for later use, such as Context, ObjectDetectionDataset and TFasterRCNN from the CVTK core, and detection_utils from utils.
I tried looking for the CVTK package but couldn't find it in the free Python packages or some other web page.
I only found the following package named in the same way, but it does not contain the functions mentioned above: https://pypi.org/project/cvtk/
Also a package called CNTK was found, but it seems deprecated, and only works for Python 3.6
I have tried to find it by the name of the functions that are used, but we did not find it either. Is it possible that this package has been updated and renamed as well as its features? If so, what is the name of the current package and the name of the new functions that would replace the code of the document and repository?

Thanks for reaching out to us. Based on my research, there is little information about CVTK. But I am working on connecting with the blog poster to see if there any clue we have for your question.

Thank you. I'll be waiting :)
Hello,
I finally found this: https://github.com/willard-yuan/cvtk/blob/master/README.md Could you please check on this?
I have reached out to the content team but it's difficult since this article was written in 2018. I am still waiting for the response from them.

Yutong
Hi. Yes, I checked that repo too, but it seems that its different, and most of the code is in C++
I'll be waiting for the team if appears, anyways. Thanks for your support.
If there's another solution similar to the post (detect handwritten signatures), I would appreciate if you could show me.
Regards.
