Handwritten character recognition has been one of the active research area in deep learning. This Recognition processing includes many applications such as reading bank cheques, converting written documents to structural text form. Handwritten recognition is a challenging task for computer system. Deep learning techniques are used for understanding the handwritten data through training. Recently used network is Convolution neural network for recognition process. In this paper, we used residual network for recognition. Before applying CNN we had performed image processing operations like pre-processing, conversion to greyscale, thresholding, image segmentation etc. With the use of residual networks, we can achieve fast training process and can attain more accuracy than other networks. Residual network is differing from Convolution neural network due to which residually adding a parallel connection to the layers of convolution neural network in order to providing better performance.

There are many developments possible in this system in the future. Currently this system can only recognize text in
English languages. Furthermore, languages can be recognized in future. Presently this system supports letter, digits and some special symbols. There are many applications of this system. Some of the applications are Processing of cheques in Banks, helping hand in Desktop publishing, recognition of text from business cards, helping the blind in recognizing handwritten text on letters.
