Combining Neural Networks and Context-Driven Search for On-Line, Printed Handwriting Recognition in the Newton

While on-line handwriting recognition is an area of long-standing and ongoing research, the recent emergence of portable, pen-based computers has focused urgent attention on usable, practical solutions. We discuss a combination and improvement of classical methods to produce robust recognition of hand-printed English text, for a recognizer shipping in new models of Apple Computer's Newton MessagePad
