Apple was doing work on handwriting recognition and had phenomenally<br>
high recognition rates by looking at words rather than letters. Of<br>
course this is not language independent and requires dictionaries -<br>
but these can be built up by the software (training).<br>
<p>
An ideal OCR would use the "lower level" results from the letter<br>
recognition to influenece the "high level" word recognition and<br>
vice versa.<br>
<p>
I'm not familiar with this Neural Net speak, but I think this<br>
sort of thing is possible and should help to achieve much higher<br>
accuracy levels.<br>
