Abstract

Handwritten character recognition plays an important role in the modern world. It can solve more complex problems and makes human's job easier. The present paper portrays a novel approach in recognizing handwritten devanagari character through feed forward back propagation neural network. All the experiments are conducted by using the Artificial Neural Network tool of Matlab.
