What is handwritting recognition?

Answer 1

Handwritten Recognition

Handwriting Recognition is the ability of a computer to translate human writing into text.

Handwriting recognition can be defined as the task of transforming text represented in the spatial form of graphical marks into its symbolic representation to make digital copies that be useful in many fields such as handwritten documents or automated processing tasks ( automatic mail sorting or cheque processing).

The field of handwriting recognition can be split into two different approaches:

· Off-line handwritten recognition by scanning of written text

· On-line handwritten recognition by writing directly on to a peripheral input device.
