There are some methods and are described in the literature. Some researchers recognize Myanmar handwritten characters based on structural and statistical characteristics. Myanmar’s character recognition system was developed to apply license plate recognition, date identification and number of numbers on bank checks, typed character recognition in the standard application form, bilingual design of Burmese symbols, with English symbols, Burmese handwritten character recognition. They are primarily based on pattern matching and normalized correlation with large databases of storage patterns.
