Abstract:
1. A method implementable on a computing device for evaluating a digital image comprising handwritten symbols, the method comprising: determining, by a processor associated with the computing device, a set of symbols from the digital image by applying a first predefined technique that facilitates the extraction of alphanumeric characters; comparing the determined set of symbols to a predefined set of symbols; determining, by the processor, a second set of symbols from the digital image by applying a second predefined technique if the set of symbols determined by applying the first predefined technique does not match with the predefined set of symbols, wherein the second predefined technique facilitates extraction of at least one of hand drawings, shapes, boxes, and arrows; comparing the determined second set of symbols to the predefined set of symbols; and creating, by the processor, an evaluation report based on the determining by applying the first predefined technique or the determining by applying the second predefined technique, wherein the evaluation report indicates a match when at least one of the determined set of symbols or the determined second set of symbols matches the predefined set of symbols.
