formatting performs correct segmentation into characters and finds the most possible words offline recognition edit offline handwriting recognition involves the automatic conversion of text in an image into letter codes that are usable within computer and text processing applications the data obtained by this form is regarded as a static representation of handwriting offline handwriting recognition is comparatively difficult as different people have different handwriting styles and as of today ocr engines are primarily focused on machine printed text and icr for hand printed written in capital letters text citation needed traditional techniques edit character extraction edit offline character recognition often involves scanning a form or document this means the individual characters contained in the scanned image will need to be extracted tools exist that are capable of performing this step 3 however there are several common imperfections in this step the most common is when characters that are connected are returned as a single sub image containing both characters this causes a major problem in the recognition stage yet many algorithms are available that reduce the risk of connected characters character recognition edit after individual characters have been extracted a recognition engine is used to identify the corresponding computer character several different recognition techniques are currently available feature extraction edit feature extraction works in a similar fashion to neural network recognizers however programmers must manually determine the properties they feel are important this approach gives the recognizer more control over the properties used in identification yet any system using this approach requires substantially more development time than a neural network because the properties are not learned automatically modern techniques edit where traditional techniques focus on segmenting individual characters for recognition modern techniques focus on recognizing all the characters in a segmented line of text particularly they focus on machine learning techniques that are able to learn visual features avoiding the limiting feature engineering previously used state of the art methods use convolutional networks to extract visual features over several overlapping windows of a text line image which a recurrent neural network uses to produce character probabilities 4 online recognition edit online handwriting recognition involves the automatic conversion of text as it is written on a special digitizer or pda where a sensor picks up the pen tip movements as well as pen up pen down switching this kind of data is known as digital ink and can be regarded as a digital representation of handwriting the obtained signal is converted into letter codes that are usable within computer and text processing applications the elements of an online handwriting recognition interface typically include a pen or stylus for the user to write with a touch sensitive surface which may be integrated with or adjacent to an output display a software application which interprets the movements of the stylus across the writing surface translating the resulting strokes into digital text the process of online handwriting recognition can be broken down into a few general steps preprocessing feature extraction and classification the purpose of preprocessing is to discard irrelevant information in the input data that can negatively affect the recognition 5 this concerns speed and accuracy preprocessing usually consists of binarization normalization sampling smoothing and denoising 6 the second step is feature extraction out of the two or higher dimensional vector field received from the preprocessing algorithms higher dimensional data is extracted the purpose of this step is to highlight important information for the recognition model this data may include information like pen pressure velocity or the changes of writing direction the last big step is classification in this step various models are used to map the extracted features to different classes and thus identifying the characters or words the features represent hardware edit commercial products incorporating handwriting recognition as a replacement for keyboard input were introduced in the early 1980s examples include handwriting terminals such as the pencept penpad 7 and the inforite point of sale terminal 8 with the advent of the large consumer market for personal computers several commercial products were introduced to replace the keyboard and mouse on a personal computer with a single pointing handwriting system such as those from pencept 9 cic 10 and others the first commercially available tablet type portable computer was the write top from linus technologies released in july 1988 its operating system was based on ms dos 11 12 in the early 1990s hardware makers including ncr ibm and eo released tablet computers running the penpoint operating system developed by go corp penpoint used handwriting recognition and gestures throughout and provided the facilities to third party software ibm s tablet computer was the first to use the thinkpad name and used ibm s handwriting recognition this recognition system was later ported to microsoft windows for pen computing and ibm s pen for os 2 none of these were commercially successful advancements in electronics allowed the computing power necessary for handwriting recognition to fit into a smaller form factor than tablet computers and handwriting recognition is often used as an input method for hand held pdas the first pda to provide written input was the apple newton which exposed the public to the advantage of a streamlined user interface however the device was not a commercial success owing to the unreliability of the software which tried to learn a user s writing patterns by the time of the release of the newton os 2 0 wherein the handwriting recognition was greatly improved including unique features still not found in current recognition systems such as modeless error correction the largely negative first impression had been made after discontinuation of apple newton the feature was incorporated in mac os x 10 2 and later as inkwell palm later launched a successful series of pdas based on the graffiti recognition system graffiti improved usability by defining a set of unistrokes or one stroke forms for each character this narrowed the possibility for erroneous input although memorization of the stroke patterns did increase the learning curve for the user the graffiti handwriting recognition was found to infringe on a patent held by xerox and palm replaced graffiti with a licensed version of the cic handwriting recognition which while also supporting unistroke forms pre dated the xerox patent the court finding of infringement was reversed on appeal and then reversed again on a later appeal the parties involved subsequently negotiated a settlement concerning this and other patents a tablet pc is a notebook computer with a digitizer tablet and a stylus which allows a user to handwrite text on the unit s screen the operating system recognizes the handwriting and converts it into text windows vista and windows 7 include personalization features that learn a user s writing patterns or vocabulary for english japanese chinese traditional chinese simplified and korean the features include a personalization wizard that prompts for samples of a user s handwriting and uses them to retrain the system for higher accuracy recognition this system is distinct from the less advanced handwriting recognition system employed in its windows mobile os for pdas although handwriting recognition is an input form that the public has become accustomed to it has not achieved widespread use in either desktop computers or laptops it is still generally accepted that keyboard input is both faster and more reliable as of 2006 update many pdas offer handwriting input sometimes even accepting natural cursive handwriting but accuracy is still a problem and some people still find even a simple on screen keyboard more efficient software edit early software could understand print handwriting where the characters were separated however cursive handwriting with connected characters presented sayre s paradox a difficulty involving character segmentation in 1962 shelia guberman then in moscow wrote the first applied pattern recognition program 13 commercial examples came from companies such as communications intelligence corporation and ibm in the early 1990s two companies paragraph international and lexicus came up with systems that could understand cursive handwriting recognition paragraph was based in russia and founded by computer scientist stepan pachikov while lexicus was founded by ronjon nag and chris kortge who were students at stanford university the paragraph calligrapher system was deployed in the apple newton systems and lexicus longhand system was made available commercially for the penpoint and windows operating system lexicus was acquired by motorola in 1993 and went on to develop chinese handwriting recognition and predictive text systems for motorola paragraph was acquired in 1997 by sgi and its handwriting recognition team formed a p i division
