Abstract

The widely-used PDAs, touch screens, tablet-PCs are alternatives to keyboards with the advantages of being more friendly, easy, and natural. A framework for Arabic online character recognition is developed. The framework integrates the different phases of online Arabic text recognition. The used data poses several challenges such as delayed strokes handling, connectivity problems, variability, and style change of text. We process the delayed strokes at the different phases differently to improve the overall performance. This work includes feature extraction of many features, including several novel statistical features. Experimental results on challenging online Arabic characters show encouraging results.
