Tips

At current stage, the character matcher is very naive, that is, it can recognize if and only if the strokes are written in exact correct sequence. This will be improve in future version.

There are two programs for WritRecogn: WritRecogn and WritRecogn-manager. WritRecogn is the GUI main program, while WrtiRecogn-manager is the text mode handwriting data manipulate program for WritRecogn.

WritRecogn

WritRecogn has two modes, recognizing mode for character recognizing and handwriting input; training mode to train and modify the how WritRecogn recognizes characters

In training mode, users can:

• View and modify the input code of character.
• Save the character data.

WritRecogn-manager

• For a brief help on WritRecogn-manager, run WritRecogn without specifying any parameters in command line.
• Use -D to get debug messages
• Use -C to specify the character to be query/manipulate
