During recent decades, recognizing letters was a considerable discussion for artificial intelligence researchers and recognize letters due to the variety of languages and different approaches have many challenges. The Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) are framed based on particular application such as recognition pattern and data classification through learning process is configured. So, it is a proper approach to recognize letters. Kurdish language has two popular handwritings based on Arabic and Latin. In this paper, Radial Basis Function (RBF) of ANNs is used to recognize Kurdish-Latin manuscripts. Although, the authors' proposed method is also used to recognize the letters of all Latin languages which include English, Turkish and etc. are used. The authors implement RBF of ANNs in MATLAB environment. In this paper, the efficiency criteria is supposed to minimize the Mean Square Error (MSE) to recognize Kurdish letters and maximize recognition accuracy of Kurdish letters in training and testing stage of RBF of ANNs. The recognition accuracy in training and testing stages are 100% and 96.7742%, respectively.
