Abstract

Optical character recognition is a vital task in the field of pattern recognition. English character recognition has been extensively studied by many researchers but in case of Indian languages which are complicated; the research work is very limited. Devanagari is an indian script used by huge number of indian people. Devanagari forms the basis for several indian languages including Hindi, Sanskrit, Kashmiri, Marathi and so on. This article presents a review of earlier research work related to devanagari character recognition along with some applications of optical character recognition system.
