Abstract

The present system performs analysis of snapshots of cursive and non-cursive font character text images and yields customizable text files using optical character recognition technology. In the previous versions the authors have discussed the user training mechanism that introduces new non-cursive font styles and writing formats into the system and incorporates optimization, noise reduction and background detection modules. This system specifically focuses on enhancing the process of character recognition by introducing a mechanism for handling simple cursive fonts.
