Handwriting recognition has an active community of academics studying it.  The biggest conferences for handwriting recognition are the International Conference on Frontiers in Handwriting Recognition (ICFHR), held in even-numbered years, and the [[International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition]] (ICDAR), held in odd-numbered years.  Both of these conferences are endorsed by the IEEE and [[IAPR]].  
In 2021, the ICDAR proceedings will be published by [[Lecture Notes in Computer Science|LNCS]], Springer.

Active areas of research include:
* Online recognition
* Offline recognition
* Signature verification
* [[Handwritten Address Interpretation|Postal address interpretation]]
* Bank-Check processing
* [[Writer Recognition|Writer recognition]]
