ABSTRACT:
A system for recognizing handwritten words of cursive script by extracting temporal information from static text is described. The temporal information consists of the shape, location and temporal sequence of the segments, or "primitives", constituting the word and is translated from bit maps images of the words into digital information format. By comparing the digital information with formatted digital information for a plurality of known words, as may be stored in computer memory, a list of words having a relatively high probability of matching the static text is generated, and used for word recognition by a process of selecting the most likely match.
