In the recent years, handwritten character recognition has been immensely researched and several methods have been implemented. In this paper, a system for recognition of handwritten code by Template Matching is presented. For this purpose, I have build my own database of handwritten characters in various fonts and size, which includes lower case letters, numbers and selected special characters. The pipeline is built in MATLAB and works taking by an input image, pre processes the input image and recognises the characters from the trained data to give an output of the given code as printed text.
