In this paper we present an online handwritten symbol recognition system for Telugu, a widely spoken language in India. The system is based on Hidden Markov Models (HMM) and uses a combination of time-domain and frequency-domain features. The system gives top-1 accuracy of 91.6% and top-5 accuracy of 98.7% on a dataset containing 29,158 train samples and 9,235 test samples. We also introduce a cost-effective and natural data collection procedure based on ACECAD? Digimemo? and describe its usage in building a Telugu handwriting dataset.
