Computers are greatly influencing the lives of human beings and their usage is increasing at a tremendous rate. The ease with which we can exchange information between user and computer is of immense importance today because input devices such as keyboard and mouse have limitations vis-à-vis input through natural handwriting. We can use the online handwriting recognition process for a quick and...

Handwriting recognition is a challenging task for many real-world applications such as document authentication, form processing, historical documents. This paper focuses on the comparative study on off-line handwriting recognition system and Printed Characters by taking Arabic handwriting. The off-line Handwriting Recognition methods for Arabic words which being often used among then across the...

This work is focused on enhancing highly interactive text-editing applications with gestures. Concretely, we study CATTI, a handwriting transcription system that follows a corrective feedback paradigm, where both the user and the system collaborate efficiently to produce a high-quality text transcription. CATTI-like applications demand fast and accurate gesture recognition, for which we observe...

OBJECTIVE We determined the feasibility and outcomes of the Log Handwriting Program (Raynal, 1990), an 8-week training program based on task-specific practice of handwriting. METHOD We used a pretest-posttest design involving 16 first- and second-grade Australian students. Handwriting training sessions occurred in schools for 45 min per week over 8 weeks, in groups of 2 or 3. Weekly homework ...

A previous study found a visual deficit in contour integration in English readers with dyslexia (Simmers & Bex, 2001). Visual contour integration may play an even more significant role in Chinese handwriting particularly due to its logographic presentation (Lam, Au, Leung, & Li-Tsang, 2011). The current study examined the relationship between children's performance in visual contour (VC) integr...

Motivated by several rulings in United States courts concerning expert testimony in general, and handwriting testimony in particular, we undertook a study to objectively validate the hypothesis that handwriting is individual. Handwriting samples of 1,500 individuals, representative of the U.S. population with respect to gender, age, ethnic groups, etc., were obtained. Analyzing differences in h...

Handwriting is a skill that is personal to individual [28]. The relation of character, shape and the style of writing are visually different from one to another. Handwriting identification is a process to identify or verify the authorship of a handwriting document. Asserting authorship identity based on handwritten text requires three steps: Data acquisition and preprocessing, Feature extractio...

Current interfaces for entering mathematical equations on computers are arguably limited and cumbersome. Mathematical notations have evolved to aid symbolic thinking and yet text-based interfaces relying on keyboard-and-mouse input do not take advantage of the natural two-dimensional aspects of mathematical equations. Due to its similarities to paper-based mathematics, pen-based handwriting inp...
