Back-Propagation Artificial Neural Network Techniques for~ Optical Character Recognition- A Survey

Character recognition, a digitization concept, is an important research area in the field of image processing, and pattern recognition. Optical character recognition is a method of digitizing printed texts so that they can be searched electronically, stored compactly and used in machine processes such as text-to-speech, and machine translation. This paper describes the techniques for converting a type or handwritten document into machine readable form using BackPropagation Artificial Neural Networks
