Abstract

The paper describes an algorithm based on AI techniques for recognizing words of printed or hand-written text--with the technique developed also applicable to cor-recting substitution spelling errors. The algorithm effectively integrates bottom-up information in the form of letter shapes, letter transitional probabilities and letter classification-error probabilities together with top-down knowledge in the form of a lexicon of legal words repre-sented as a letter trie. Experimental re-sults with the algorithm are reported for the combined top-down and bottom-up ap-proach and for each of the two approaches individually. I
