A generic character recognition system has different stages like noise removal,skew detection and correction, segmentation, feature extraction and classification. Results ofthe later stages can affect the performance of the subsequent stages in the OCR process. Tomake the results of the subsequent stages more accurate, the skew detection and correctionand segmentation play an important good part of recent progress in readingunconstrained online handwritten text may be described to more insightful handling paper provides a review of these advances.

Introduction With the development of digitizing tablets and microcomputers, online handwriting recognition has become an areaof active research since the became a need becausemachines are getting smaller in size and keyboards arebecoming more difficult to use in these smaller , online handwriting recognition provides a dynamicmeans of communication with computers through a pen likestylus, as it is natural writing instrument and this seems to bean easier way of entering data into segmentation has long been a .
