Phases of Word Recognition:

We can learn to recognise words through the process of word recognition. Word
Recognition is a process that can be subdivided in following phases. That makes it
easier to understand. Bygoing through all the phases successfully we can achieve our
goal of recognizing the word. These phases are:
Image Sourcing: Offline handwritten character recognition is where this step
begins. Any digitized tool can be used as a source. The image is captured by a
scanner or camera and sent to the following step. It is the process of collecting the
data for the process and giving them into input. Data is divided into part one is
training data and another one is testing data. Trainingdata is 80% of the total data. The
purpose is to train the model. And the remaining 20% data is testing data that is used
to check the accuracy and result of the model.
Pre-processing: Pre-processing is a set of operations that improves the image's
quality and thus its accuracy. For the purposes of character recognition.
In the Pre-processing part we generally improve the quality of the picture by using different
methods so that it will make the picture more meaningful so that the classification and
recognition process will become more easy.

Segmentation: A process of obtaining separate properties from an image is called

segmentation. The technique of dividing an image information into many parts is demonstrated
in this paper segmentation . The idea behind this approach is to make an image more intelligible
and easier to examine by simplifying and changing its interpretation. By separating the moving
data into smaller pieces and identifying specific spots where the text can be inscribed,
segmentation is a broad issue in and of itself.

Feature-extraction: This is a crucial stage in the identification process, and it is at this point
that the recognition algorithm is developed. Each character has his or her own distinctive
characteristics. It is made up of a set of rules, each of which explains a character's trait. This
phase involves extracting such characteristics. In feature extraction only required features
will be preserved and all the other features will be deleted from the data. It only focuses on
the main data that is required for the procedure. By extracting the waste data we can more
easily focus on the required data and task.

Classification: The training should be finished by now, and the input data testing should
begin. All of the foregoing processes would pass the testing data, and the matching rules
would be allocated varied probabilities. The rule with the maximum probability is chosen,
and the class-label associated with it is given a recognised character. At the end the last
stage of word recognition is classification. When the algorithm performs its task then at the
end we get our desired classified data.
