Abstract

SCRIPTOR is an engine for on-line recognition of cursive script able to learn individual writing features and/or user-defined pen gestures in an incremental way. In this paper we describe experiments for characterizing the learning process in an interactive environment and an automatic allograph segmentation mechanism capable of supporting incremental learning.
