Indexing and automatic recognition of handwritten text

It is speculated that the amount of manuscripts accumulated in libraries and archives around the world far exceeds the amount of (original) text printed or typed to the present. Just a small amount of these documents has been digitized so far, and only part of it has been transcribed. Therefore, the most interesting information contained in the vast majority of digital images (i.e., the information transmitted by the text), remains inaccessible for easy reading, editing, indexing and search. In this article, projects and effective solutions recently developed within their frameworks are presented, both for the search of information and for the complete transcription of historical handwritten documents.
