Abstract
Input handwritten characters are classified as print or cursive based upon numerical feature values calculated from the shape of an input character. The feature values are applied to inputs of an artificial neural network which outputs a probability of the input character being print or cursive. If a character is classified as print, it is analyzed by a print character recognizer. If a character is classified as cursive, it is analyzed using a cursive character recognizer. The cursive character recognizer compares the input character to multiple prototype characters using a Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) algorithm.
