Abstract
In the field of recognition, Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has had more and more applications in the social life. Up to now, the problem of recognizing printed characters has been almost completely solved (its product ABBYY FineReader 12.0 can recognize printed letters in 20 different languages, the Vietnamese printed character recognition software VnDOCR 4.0 of Ha Noi Institute of Information technology can identify documents containing images, tables and texts with an accuracy level of over 98%). However, in the world as well as in Vietnam, the problem of handwriting recognition still remains a big challenge for researchers. This paper is to present an overview of the achievements, shortcomings and challenges in this field of OCR as well as propose some new approaches for this type of research.
Keywords
