High accuracy optical character recognition algorithms using learning array of ANN

Optical Character recognition refers to the process of translating the handwritten or printed text into a format that is understood by the machines for the purpose of editing, searching and indexing. The Performance of the current OCR illustrates and explains the actual errors and imaging defects in recognition with illustrated examples. This paper aims to create an application interface for OCR using artificial neural network as a back end to achieve high accurate rate in recognition. The proposed algorithm using neural network concept provides a high accuracy rate in recognition of characters. The proposed approach is implemented and tested on isolated character database consisting of English characters, digits and keyboard special characters.
