Abstract: The Constitution of India has recognized 22 languages as official languages of India. Among these most of the recognition research work has been done for Devanagari, Gurumukhi, Telugu, and Bangla scripts etc. OCR system development for Indian script has many application areas like preserving manuscripts and ancient literatures written in different Indian scripts and making digital libraries for the documents. Feature extraction and classification are essential steps of character recognition process affecting the overall accuracy of the recognition system. This paper gives a detailed overview of different feature extraction and classification techniques for recognition process of different Indian scripts by the researchers over the past few decades.
