I'm trying to develop a project that recognises handwriting and converts into text. What are the algorithms and tools to be used?

$\begingroup$ I suggest you take a look at the work of Alex Graves - cs.toronto.edu/~graves/handwriting.html $\endgroup$ – Maxim Oct 12 '17 at 13:58

$\begingroup$ This feels a bit much like a "do my homework for me"question to me. Could you make this question a little more specific? $\endgroup$ – mindcrime Nov 9 '17 at 23:50

$\begingroup$ I need to know about handwriting recognition through image processing i.e recognising patterns of handwriting in the image. I need some suggestions. Whether it is feasible or not? $\endgroup$ – Anandh Kishan Nov 11 '17 at 11:10

What you described sounds to me like Optical Character Recognition(OCR).
If you want to implement your own, I would say read through how an open source OCR like Tesseract was implemented.
Otherwise just google for OCR and you will find a list of OCR engines, both comercial and open-source. To list but a few:
- Tesseract: https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract
- Matlab Computer Vision Toolbox's OCR: http://www.mathworks.de/de/help/vision/ref/ocr.html
Most OCRs makes use of a combination of a segmantation and image classification(usually done with Convolutional Neural Networks).
See here for more information.

$\begingroup$ Thanks for the info :) . But I want to recognise using image processing. How can I do that? $\endgroup$ – Anandh Kishan Oct 12 '17 at 16:26
