Due to large shape variations in human handwriting, recognition accuracy of cursive handwritten word is hardly satisfying using a single classifier. In this paper we introduce a framework to combine results of multiple classifiers and present an intuitive run-time weighted opinion pool combination approach for recognizing cursive handwritten words with a large size vocabulary. The individual classifiers are evaluated run-time dynamically. The final combination is weighted according to their local performance. For an open vocabulary recognition task, we use the ROVER algorithm to combine the different strings of characters provided by each classifier. Experimental results for recognizing cursive handwritten words demonstrate that our new approach achieves better recognition performance and reduces the relative error rate significantly.
