Claim One:
1. A system for efficient recognition of one or more handwritten characters in one or more documents, the system comprising: a memory storing instructions for recognition of one or more handwritten characters in one or more documents; a processor executing instructions stored in the memory to: receive the one or more documents as one or more images; extract one or more fields of information from the one or more received images; segment the one or more extracted fields of information into one or more segments; extract one or more handwritten characters from each of the one or more segments; wherein extracting the one or more characters comprises: dividing each of the one or more segments into one or more cells of pre-determined dimensions; computing a histogram of oriented gradient descriptor for each of the one or more cells; and normalizing the histogram of oriented gradient descriptor for each of the one or more cells and using principal component analysis to extract the one or more characters; recognize the one or more extracted handwritten characters; and detect and correct one or more errors in the one or more recognized characters, wherein detecting and correcting the one or more errors comprises: analyzing content in the vicinity of each of the one or more recognized characters; predicting one or more characters for each of the one or more recognized characters in the extracted fields of information based on the analyzed content; comparing each of the one or more recognized characters with the one or more predicted characters to detect the one or more errors in the one or more recognized characters; and implementing one or more pre-stored error correction rules and pre-stored error correction algorithms corresponding to the one or more detected errors.
