ABSTRACT:
A method for optical character recognition particularly suitable for cursive and scripted text follows the tracings of the script and encodes them as a sequence of directional vectors. Another aspect of the method adaptively preprocesses each word or sub-word of interconnected characters as a unit and the characters are accepted only when all characters in a unit have been recognized without leaving a remainder of any vectors in the unit.
