An Introduction to the Process of Optical Character Recognition

Umal Patel

Abstract: This paper presents an overview of methods and techniques used for feature extraction that helps in efficient classification of the alphabets and numbers of English language. Character recognition has long been a essential area for research since years. Recognition of character is a minor work for humans, but to make a computer program that does character recognition is extremely difficult. Hence to make a machine recognize the characters and efficiently determine a pattern has been the primary concern for researchers now days This paper discusses various offline and online Optical Character Recognition Techniques (OCR).
