Title: Rotation Angle Estimation of Scanned Handwritten Cursive Text Documents
Keywords: handwritten text recognition, angle estimation

Abstract: In this paper we propose an algorithm that estimates the rotation angle presenting in scanned images of handwritten cursive text. It combines a technique of tracking the separate words connectivity, narrowing the range of possible rotation angles to be checked and the extra obtained results are found useful in the following stages of a complete handwritten text recognition system.
