  • System, process and software arrangement for recognizing handwritten characters
    Patent number: 7336827
    Abstract: A process and system are provided for determining a most likely combination of characters. In particular, character data which includes information indicative of at least one handwritten character is obtained. The character data includes at least one set of segmentation points for the handwritten character. Then, a score can be provided for each particular character of a set of previously stored characters based on a comparison between the character data and the previously stored particular character. In addition, it is possible to compare visual aspects of the handwritten character to visual aspects of each of the previously stored characters for determining likely characters. Also, a Fisher Matching procedure can be used on the character data to ascertain the likely characters. A plurality of handwritten characters can include a first character that is connected to a second character of the handwritten characters via a ligature.
