Welcome Kushagra. I like 95% of the idea. Well done.
However, the optical character recognition machine learning component will have problems; * there may not be enough processor power to run the model quick enough, or battery may decline quickly when using activity, * the model would need local training, and as there are no other handwriting activities the training must come from this activity alone, * there would have to be a "they are cheating" button to mark a drawing as writing, otherwise the training could not happen, * some drawings may false positive, * it is not an essential part of the activity; children are very good at detecting attempts to cheat, * prevents the activity from being used for competition writing of letters and words instead, It may be enough to have a "they are cheating" button with the activity taking votes into account. What do you think?
