A recognition and verification strategy for handwritten word recognition

In this paper a word recognition and verification scheme based on HMMs is presented. However, the main contribution of the current work lies in the validation of such a strategy. In order to perform this task, we carried out some experiments on word recognition using a legal amount database and then we compared the results reached with other study which makes use of the same database. The experiments demonstrate the efficiency of the strategy we developed for word recognition and verification.
