Handwritten Character Recognition has been a challenging research domain due to its diverse applicable environment.Handwriting has always been and will possibly continue to be a means of communication.There is a need to convert these handwritten documents into an editable format which can be achieved by Handwritten Character Recognition systems.This considerably reduces the storage space required.In this paper focus is on offline handwritten English alphabets and numerals.Feature extraction is performed using zoning method together with the concept of euler number.This increases accuracy and speed of recognition as the search space can be reduced by dividing the character set into three groups.
