    Handwriting recognition algorithm

    hello. i am trying to write a very simple handwriting recognition algorithm using c#(visual studio 2008). my goal is to write something that can recognize a single letter at a time. you know start small. i write my letter onto a bitmap. so i have access of the bitmap that containing the letter, so i am hoping that i can look through the bitmap and figure out what the letter is. i googled a little before posting this, but what i found was too hard and abstract for me to understand. can someone point me in the right direction and give me some suggestion as how i should go about this?

    The truth is it is definitly very complex using lots of math and is done from the best of the best IMHO. So nothing for beginners. If you need such one, you can get existing products together with buying a scanner normally.

    Re: Handwriting recognition algorithm

    I agree with JP. There's no such thing as a simple handwriting recognition algorithm.

    Leave it to the experts and buy in a piece of software (there might be something on CodeForge to do this : but I bet it's in C++).

    Good luck. If a professor really wants something like that... Hmm... I really would examine what he really is awaiting to get. Or is this a high school ( university ) project for getting the diploma or doctor graduation ?

    If the teacher has allowed yourself to choose whatever you want to design and you have choosen for this by your own decision, then withdraw the project and submit him that you are doing another one.
