Chapter 13 – Recognizing handprinted text
88
Recognized symbols
Handprinting recognition is limited to the Latin alphabet and
supports numerals (0-9), uppercase letters (A-Z) and the
punctuation symbols comma, period, plus sign and hyphen.
Accents, umlauts and other special characters are not supported.
Notes
 Readiris supports handprinting, not handwriting.
 Uppercase characters are replaced by lowercase characters after
recognition, unless they occur at the beginning of a sentence.
 The document characteristics language, font type and character
pitch do not apply to handprinting.
 Interactive learning does not apply either. The ICR technology is
based on more than one million writing samples.
