Lot of work has been done in the field of literature and Islamic studies in Urdu, which has to be computerized. In the proposed system individual characters are recognized using our own proposed method/ algorithms. The feature detection methods are simple and robust. Supervised learning is used to train the feed forward neural network. A prototype of the system has been tested on printed Urdu characters and currently achieves 98.3% character level accuracy on average .Although the system is script/ language independent but we have designed it for Urdu characters only.}, journal = {International Journal of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering}, volume = {1}, number = {10}, year = {2007}, pages = {2986 - 2989}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/11206}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/10}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 10, 2007}, }
