Handwriting Recognition

What Is Handwriting Recognition

Handwriting recognition (HWR) is the ability of a computer to accept and interpret comprehensible handwritten input from sources such as paper documents, pictures, touch-screens, and other devices. Handwritten text recognition (HTR) is another name for handwriting recognition. Handwriting recognition (HWR) is also known as handwritten text recognition (HTR). By using optical scanning or intelligent word recognition, the image of the written text can be sensed "off line" from a piece of paper. This can be done in a number of different ways. A different option is for the movements of the pen tip to be sensed "on line," for instance by a pen-based computer screen surface. This is a task that is typically simpler because there are more hints available. Formatting, accurate character segmentation, and the identification of words that are most likely to be written are all taken care of by a handwriting recognition system.
