Abstract | Automatic handwritten character recognition (AHWCR) is emerging as a convenient and effective technology for document creation, editing and digitisation. The falling prices of tablet PCs, combined with high quality handwritten recognition software is evolving a computing paradigm that can be exploited in the generation and documentation of African language resources. The paradigm also holds great potential for language education applications. |
