A Review on Handwritten Indian Script Identification

India is a culturally diverse population having 13 official scripts and 23 official languages. To retrieve information from any documents e.g. ancient, medieval, epigraphs, palm leaf manuscript, and even unregulated document formats written in multi-script/languages requires an optical character recognition system. To develop the efficient and precise multi-script OCR system must require script identification. Due to the script identification context retrieval and accuracy of OCR system is enhanced. This paper presents a review on unconstrained handwritten Indian scripts identification by using various feature extractions method and classifier designs by various researchers.
