[DCRM-L] Manuscript handwriting recognition programs

[Cawelti, Andrea]

I have been hearing that AI exists which can sometimes recognize art forgeries by the patterns of their brush strokes.  Is anyone aware of similar work in the area of handwriting recognition?  I dream of the day when I can feed an unidentified (or more frequently, illegible) handwriting sample into a computer and receive some suggestions!
Thoughts?
Thanks, andrea
