Adapted Optimal Neural Network Based Classifier Using Optical Character Recognition Engine for Tamil Language

In this paper, an adapted optimal neural network based classifier using optical character recognition<br>engine for Tamil language is proposed. The proposed method can be used to recognize any language characters but in this paper only Tamil characters were tested for recognition. As an enhancement, implementation of speech processing is used to identify the classified Tamil characters for visually impaired persons for ease by providing audio feedback of the same. Also the same technique is used to resolve confusions between triplets and quadruples of similar characters. As a future enhancement, the same recognition could be carried out not only for individual characters but also for Tamil words.
