BEGINNING RESEARCH ON CHARACTER RECOGINITION TECHNIQUES.
OBJECTIVE: DEVELOP CHARACTER INPUT DEVICE (WAND) TO ACCEPT THE MAJORITY
OF FONTS FOUND IN PUBLICATIONS.

POINTER TO PUBLICATIONS ARE HELPFUL.

THANKS

[The international joint conferences on pattern recognition would
be a good place to start.  Proceedings are available from the IEEE
Computer Society.  A 1962 book I've found interesting is "Optical
Character Recognition" by Fischer, et al.  Good luck (you'll need
it).  -- KIL]
