Abstract

Optical Character Recognition tools are used to convert handwritten or typewritten characters to machine editable form. OCR tools are either a stand-alone command-line application or GUI application. In this paper, Tesseract tool, GOCR tool and other Desktop and Web OCR tools are presented. Among them, Researchers have selected six open source and free tools for handwritten character recognition and presented comparative study of it. Researchers have collected 2520 handwritten character and digit samples from the various persons and compare it with six different tools and found out highest recognition rate of each character and digit.
