handwriting

I have a dictionary of words in a text file, separated by newlines. And I want to recognize the handwriting using Tesseract, and output the nearest matching line in the text file. This is the first time I'll be using Tesseract, and it's already in my project workspace, I just need the training data. Is it possible to train Tesseract to do this? Leopd It's possible to train tesseract to recognize handwriting. Here are the instructions: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Training-Tesseract But don't expect very good results. Academics have typically gotten accuracy results topping

I was just wondering how accurate can tesseract be for handwriting recognition if used with capital letters all in their own little boxes in a form. I know you can train it to recognise your own handwriting somewhat but the problem in my case is I need to use it across multiple handwritings. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Thanks a lot. hcham1 In short, you would have to train the Tesseract engine to recognize the handwriting. Take a look at this link: Tesseract handwriting with dictionary training This is what the linked post says: It's possible to train tesseract to recognize

I am new to the Android Graphics class. I want to draw an image(actually a signature kind) using the touch events and want it to be saved on SDcard when I want to save it. I have scanned through the web for any such tutorials but I have not found any. Can anyone please tell me how to draw on canvas using the touch events and save it. Any tutorials or sample code will be of great help. Belovoj I saw really good code on android developers, but I can't find it anymore... It's output is bezier curves so it will be pretty smooth. Here is code that I edited: public class MyDrawView extends View {

Are there any free OCR libraries that work with PHP or Python on a Linux server? The idea is to be able to upload an image and pull out characters from it, or allow users to "draw characters", and parse them out of said image. Since you're on a Linux box, I would highly recommend Google's open source project ocropus . It's not PHP, but I think it will be your best option. Of course you can call it from within PHP via exec . Its mature and has a lot of options. From the project site: The OCRopus engine is based on two research projects: a high-performance handwriting recognizer developed in the
