Abstract
In order to highlight the interesting problems and actual results on the state of the art in optical character recognition (OCR), this paper describes and compares preprocessing, feature extraction and postprocessing techniques for commercial reading machines. Problems related to handwritten and printed character recognition are pointed out, and the functions and operations of the major components of an OCR system are described. Historical background on the development of character recognition is briefly given and the working of an optical scanner is explained. The specifications of several recognition systems that are commercially available are reported and compared.
