Abstract (Summary of the Work)

Nowadays people are interested to interact with computers in their local languages. It is very tedious task to make keyboard for all existing characters and their combinations. Users will be more comfortable to input characters as handwritten rather than keying-in.The widely accepted approach for online character recognition is to capture a character as a sequence (x(t), y(t)) of points while the character is being written on a digitizer tablet using a pen kind of tool.This is the only information available for a character. Each point of the sequence can be coded as a finite set of features like direction, pen-ups, velocity of the pen etc. ... Different people have used different features. We have used direction code and length of the segment.There are many different methods have been proposed for character recognition. We have used Hidden Markov Model( HMM) to recognize a character.
