Handwriting Recognition

[Ian Dickinson]

Hi

My name is Ian Dickinson and I am a professional software developer working in the UK and reasonably familiar with Python.

However a friend of mine who is a special educational needs teacher was asking me if I could write some handwriting recognition software for her, which would allow here pupils to write their input directly on a graphics tablet and then have this input converted to a text sting for further processing. The handwriting would be distinct letters either upper or lower case but not joined up writing.  I would like to help out here as I think this is a valuable  and worthwhile area of education so has anyone out there got any advice that could help me out.


Thanks in advance

Ian
