Could you build this?
No Generating sequential vector handwriting strokes using a recurrent neural network (similar to Alex Graves' handwriting synthesis) requires specialized deep learning research and custom stroke-level dataset curation.
What it would actually take: Requires collecting or standardizing a coordinate-based handwriting stroke dataset (x, y, pen-lift sequences) for Hangul characters. The architecture typically uses a sequence-to-sequence LSTM/RNN with Mixture Density Networks (MDN) trained in PyTorch or TensorFlow, exported to ONNX or TensorFlow.js for web playback. This demands substantial expertise in generative machine learning and mathematical sequence modeling.
