Abstract: Handwriting is a learned skill that had been an excellent means of communication and documentation for thousands of years. The simple way to communicate with the computers is through either speech or handwriting. Speech has some limitation; hence input through handwriting is recommended. It is difficult to input data for computers for Indian language scripts because of their com-plex character set. This paper focuses on exploring convolutional neural networks (CNN) which is deep learning based for the recognition of handwritten script. The proposed method has shown 99% for handwritten English numerals and promising recognition accuracy for Kannada numerals.
