One of the factors limiting the performance of handwritten text recognition (HTR) for stenography is the small amount of annotated training data. To alleviate the problem of data scarcity, modern HTR methods often employ data augmentation. However, due to specifics of the stenographic script, such settings may not be directly applicable for stenography recognition. In this work, we study 22 classical augmentation techniques, most of which are commonly used for HTR of other scripts, such as Latin handwriting. Through extensive experiments, we identify a group of augmentations, including for example contained ranges of random rotation, shifts and scaling, that are beneficial to the use case of stenography recognition. Furthermore, a number of augmentation approaches, leading to a decrease in recognition performance, are identified. Our results are supported by statistical hypothesis testing. A link to the source code is provided in the paper.
