In this paper, we present the efficient voting classifier for the recognition of handwritten and printed characters. This system consists of three voting nonlinear classifiers: two of them based on the multilayer perceptron, and one uses the moments method. The combination of these kinds of systems shows superiority of neural techniques applied with classical against exclusive traditional approach and results in high percentage of correctly recognized characters. Also, we present a comparison of the recognition results.
