Optical character recognition techniques are capable of automatic translating of document images into equivalent character codes, so it helps in saving human energy as well as cost. These techniques can play a key role to improve or enhance the interaction between human and machine in many applications such as postal automation, signature verification, recognition of city names and automatic bank cheque processing/reading. This paper gives a review of various techniques explored for Devanagari word/text and isolated character recognition in the past few years. Different challenges to optical character recognition are also presented in this work. In the end, practical aspects towards the development of a robust optical character recognition system has been discussed along with directions for future research.
