Printed and Handwritten Character &Number Recognition of Devanagari Script using SVM and KNN

Recognition of Devanagari scripts is challenging problems. In Optical Character Recognition [OCR], a character or symbol to be recognized can be machine printed or handwritten characters/numerals. There are several approaches that deal with problem of recognition of numerals/character. In this paper we have compared SVM and KNN on handwritten as well as on printed character and numerical database for this we have created four different database.
