Arabic handwritten character recognition

The AOLAH databases are contributions from Aswan faculty of engineering to help researchers in the field of online handwriting recognition to build a powerful system to recognize Arabic handwritten script. AOLAH stands for Aswan On-Line Arabic Handwritten where “Aswan” is the small beautiful city located at the south of Egypt, “On-Line” means that the databases are collected the same time as they are written, “Arabic” cause these databases are just collected for Arabic characters, and “Handwritten” written by the natural human hand.
