Handwriting is a skill that is personal to individual [28]. The relation of character, shape and the style of writing are visually different from one to another. Handwriting identification is a process to identify or verify the authorship of a handwriting document. Asserting authorship identity based on handwritten text requires three steps: Data acquisition and preprocessing, Feature extractio...

Current interfaces for entering mathematical equations on computers are arguably limited and cumbersome. Mathematical notations have evolved to aid symbolic thinking and yet text-based interfaces relying on keyboard-and-mouse input do not take advantage of the natural two-dimensional aspects of mathematical equations. Due to its similarities to paper-based mathematics, pen-based handwriting inp...

Handwriting is a complex human activity that engages a blend of cognitive and visual motor skills. Current understanding of the neural correlates of handwriting has largely come from lesion studies of patients with impaired handwriting. Task-based fMRI studies would be useful to supplement this work. To address concerns over ecological validity, previously we developed a fMRI-compatible, comput...

The quality of handwriting is evaluated from the visual inspection of its legibility and not from the movement that generates the trace. Although handwriting is achieved in silence, adding sounds to handwriting movement might help towards its perception, provided that these sounds are meaningful. This study evaluated the ability to judge handwriting quality from the auditory perception of the u...

In this paper, we present the Arabic handwriting recognition system that was submitted to the 2013 NIST Open Handwriting Recognition and Translation Evaluation (OpenHaRT 2013). Our baseline recognition system is based on Hidden Markov Models and we also propose a lattice-based framework to combine the outputs from several different recognition engines. Keywords—Document recognition, Arabic hand...

This paper reviews the current state of the art in handwriting recognition research. The paper deals with issues such as hand-printed character and cursive handwritten word recognition. It describes recent achievements, difficulties, successes and challenges in all aspects of handwriting recognition. It also presents a new approach which dramatically improves current handwriting recognition sys...

Organizational ability constitutes one executive function (EF) component essential for common everyday performance. The study aim was to explore the relationship between handwriting performance and organizational ability in school-aged children. Participants were 58 males, aged 7-8 years, 30 with dysgraphia and 28 with proficient handwriting. Group allocation was based on children's scores in t...

Failure to attain handwriting competency during the school-age years often has far-reaching negative effects on both academic success and self-esteem. This complex occupational task has many underlying component skills that may interfere with handwriting performance. Fine motor control, bilateral and visual-motor integration, motor planning, in-hand manipulation, proprioception, visual percepti...

Aims: The present study was designed to provide a basis for teachers and therapists to better understand primary school children’s handwriting problems in the face of the complex relationships that exist between literacy skills with the goal to contribute to treatment choices. Original Research Article Bosga-Stork et al.; BJESBS, 12(1): 1-13, 2016; Article no.BJESBS.20703 2 Study Design: A long...

The study of the link between handwriting and personality is known as analysis. It a specific manner using to convey one’s cognitive process. That’s why it’s also “brain writing”. Handwriting, like person’s fingerprint, unique trait that cannot be duplicated by two distinct people. aids us in determining emotional state. Handwriting recognition usually done traditional manner, which professiona...
