This paper presents the results of the VOHTR 2018 competition on Vietnamese Online Handwritten Text Recognition. The goal of this competition is to evaluate and compare recent online handwritten text recognition systems on Vietnamese online handwritten text which contains many delayed strokes caused by the diacritic marks. Besides, the general objective is to encourage the studies on Vietnamese online handwritten text recognition based on the large Vietnamese handwriting database collected from 200 writers. In this competition, we introduce three tasks consisting of word recognition (task 1), text-line recognition (task 2) and paragraph recognition (task 3) which are described in details. Subsequently, we describe the evaluation metrics and give comparative results of competitors along with the brief descriptions of the respective methods.
