ABSTRACT:
A system for automatically recognizing a handwriting image and converting such image to text data including a sequence of validated words, has an image input device, a number of handwriting recognition engines, and control unit. A first handwriting recognition engine is responsive to the image input device, for analyzing the data file and providing one or more possible text words for each successive word in the data file. The first handwriting recognition engine further provides a resemblance indication for each possible text word indicating a level of resemblance between its appearance and the appearance of the handwritten word in the data file. In the event that there is not a high level of confidence in the selection of the first handwriting recognition engine, a selection of a validated word is based on the selections of one or more of the other handwriting recognition engines.
