writing utensil such as a pen or pencil. The term
encompasses both printing and cursive styles and is
separate from formal calligraphy or typeface.
Because each person's handwriting is unique, it can be
used to verify a document's writer, and the deterioration
of a person's handwriting is also a symptom or result of
certain diseases.

12. What is Graphology?
Graphology is the analysis of the physical
characteristics and patterns of handwriting
purporting to be able to identify the writer,
indicating psychological state at the time of
writing, or evaluating personality characteristics.
It is generally considered pseudoscience. The
term is sometimes incorrectly used to refer
to forensic document examination.

13. Graphology or Handwriting Analysis is a science of
interpreting a person's character from his/her personal
handwriting.
Coupled with psychology and knowledge of human
behavior, it can be used for many varied purposes. For
example, Recruitment, Marriage compatibility, Career
Guidance, Motivate workers, Child development etc.
Signature is not the best way to analyze character from
handwriting , for several reasons.
Firstly, the Signature is sometimes illegible and different
from the normal handwriting.
Secondly, the lone signature does not give enough words
and letters to help the graphologist in his/her judgment. But
signature samples do have certain advantage. Firstly they
are easy to collect; even over long periods of time.

15. What is Graphoanalysis
• Graphoanalysis is a scientific system of identifying
and assessing the character and personality of an
individual through a study of handwriting. The
techniques used are based on a well-defined,
standardized method of:
– identifying strokes,
– relating these strokes to specific personality traits, and
– evaluating the relative strength of the interrelated traits.

16. OCR: Handwriting
• For more than thirty years, researchers have
been working on handwriting recognition.
• As in the case of speech processing, they
aimed at designing systems able to
understand personal encoding of natural
language
• Methods and recognition rates depend on the
level of constraints on handwriting.
• The constraints are mainly characterized by
the:
– types of handwriting,
– number of scriptors,
– size of the vocabulary
– spatial layout.
