Abstract

Handwriting Recognition System has been studied in the last few decades. Many approaches are presented to recognize the hand written documents or paper. These approaches focus on how we recognize our hand written words and lining documents. Today there is no. of application area of handwriting recognition system. So an overview of hand writing recognition system and their evolution is presented by available technique with their superiorities and limitations are reviewed. So current status of handwriting recognition is focusing on off-line and online handwriting recognition system. This overview represent as an update for the state of art in the hand writing recognition field.

Keywords – Handwriting recognition, offline and online handwriting recognition, segmentation, feature extraction and training.
