Abstract
This paper proposes a method for the evaluation of online handwritten characters for a penmanship learning support system. In Japan, many people desire to write beautiful characters, as evidenced by the fact that correspondence courses on penmanship are very popular. However, correspondence courses lack real-time feedback because of the time required for sending materials, namely, the learner’s copy and the teacher’s correct result. Therefore, we have developed a penmanship learning support system that automatically evaluates the characters that a learner writes using a personal digital assistant (PDA). We examined the validity of our proposed character-evaluation method, and proved it to be valid.
