@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?
