Handprinting Input device for computer systems

Abstract

As of the present moment, the slowest process in computer technology is data preparation and the input operation. Among the proposed solutions to this problem are direct-reading handprinting input devices that boast of at least 95 percent accuracy. Character recognition is accomplished by means of linear decision functions, which are designed using an adaptive procedure. This technique allows flexibility in the character set, and the system may be tailored to a variety of users. The only drawback to widespread use is the present lack of economically feasible applications.
