The proposed system relies on a Baybayin character classifier generated using the Support Vector Machine (SVM). In this work, we propose an algorithm that provides the Latin transliteration of a Baybayin word in an image. However, all those studies anchored on the classification and recognition at the character level. Numerous works have proposed different techniques in recognizing Baybayin scripts. Since then, Baybayin OCR has become a field of research interest. With the effort in reintroducing the script, in 2018, the Committee on Basic Education and Culture of the Philippine Congress approved House Bill 1022 or the ”National Writing System Act,” which declares the Baybayin script as the Philippines’ national writing system.
