Handwritten character recognition is always a frontier area of research in
the field of pattern recognition and image processing and there is a large
demand for OCR on hand written documents. Even though, sufficient studies have
performed in foreign scripts like Chinese, Japanese and Arabic characters, only
a very few work can be traced for handwritten character recognition of Indian
scripts especially for the South Indian scripts. This paper provides an

namely Malayalam, Tamil, Kannada and Telungu.Comment: Paper presented on the "National Conference on Indian Language
