 Handwriting recognition
To replace the keyboard with handwriting recognition requires a profound knowledge of a wide range of fields, from mathematics and computer science to languages, usability and user interface design.
The handwriting recognition software developed by Decuma is not only based on a superior recognition technology, but also on the ability to recognize an individual's unique writing style.
Decuma's recognition technology is generic and applicable to both phonetic writing systems such as Latin and to logographic writing systems such as Chinese.

 Handwriting recognition
We consider multilanguage support as an essential part of handwriting recognition problem.
We believe that there is an ultimate solution of the general real-time handwriting recognition problem, which can be stated as "To convert a set of digital handwritten curves into a set of letters and/or sensible words in arbitrary language".
Connected (cursive) handwriting is likely to require linguistic knowledge to be involved into a recognition process.

 ART
The input is done by implementing a natural handwriting style, but each character has to be input by using a predefined box layout.
Recently, some adept natural handwriting recognition systems were introduced, which can be used without constraints.
All of these features are combined together and use optimization techniques, which output the most probable segmented recognition results in a short time.

 HRE API
Multiple recognition engines and multiple instances of the same recognition engines can be active in a program at one time, since instances of each individual engine are modelled as objects to which the application program has a handle.
This function allows the recognition engine to return a vector of specialized functions, which the application program accesses via a header file that was provided along with the recognition engine and that describes the custom interface.
The design was developed together with a number of handwriting recognition engine vendors representing a variety of technologies and natural languages.

 ::::: CereSoft: FreeStyle Handwriting Recognition :::::
This comprehensive recognition capability is the natural consequence of freestyle handwriting recognition design, since human handwriting ranges from very neat print style to the very sloppy cursive style.
This context-driven (versus image-driven) recognition approach is one of the guiding principles for CerebralNet, the architecture behind the FreeStyle handwriting recognition system.
The dictionary is an important component since a default dictionary with 120,000 words can enhance the handwriting recognition engine’s read rate from 5 to 15 percentage points, and the average accuracy could reach 99% per word for reasonably clean handwriting.

For other writing systems, character recognition is hard to achieve, as in the case of Kanji which is characterized by complex shapes and a huge number of symbols.
This new stage in the evolution of handwriting processing results from a combination of several elements: improvements in recognition rates, the use of complex systems integrating several kinds of information, the choice of relevant application domains, and new technologies such as high quality high speed scanners and inexpensive powerful CPUs.
Character Recognition techniques can be classified according to two criteria: the way preprocessing is performed on the data and the type of the decision algorithm.
