-Even though automated hand-written character recognition can be highly accurate, most of these systems are unable to apply context to improve results, unlike human readers. This paper describes an approach to automated hand-written character recognition that seeks explicit features amongst the input data, and applies layered abduction to derive an explanation to account for the input in terms of English characters. Layered abduction is used because it can provide top-down guidance is used because it can provide top-down guidance to improve accuracy. Such an approach has been taken here resulting in more than 96% accuracy for hand-written printed character recognition in a limited domain.
