Claim One:
1. A handwriting recognition system, comprising: means for sampling handwriting inputs from at least one writer; means for providing both static and dynamic parameter vector representations of said sampled handwriting inputs; means for providing both static and dynamic spliced vector representations of said sampled handwriting inputs; means for providing both static and dynamic feature vector representations of said sampled handwriting inputs; and means for estimating a probability that a sampled handwriting input is one of a predetermined set of symbols in accordance with at least said dynamic feature vector representation and a first predetermined set of symbol prototypes derived from temporal characteristics of input handwritings, and in accordance with at least said static feature vector representation and a second predetermined set of symbol prototypes derived from spatial characteristics of input handwritings, said estimating means including means for outputting a most likely symbol that said sampled handwriting input represents.
