An Efficient Hybrid Approach for Online Recognition of Handwritten Symbols

HMM and fuzzy logic: A hybrid approach for online Urdu script-based languages’ character recognition

“…Normally statistical recognizers are more reliable, however, they also have some disadvantages, it is very complex and computationally high to train and classify a large number of shapes because a large vocabulary is needed.
