In this paper the performance of different confidence measures used for an address recognition system are evaluated. The recognition system for cursive handwritten German address words is based on hidden Markov models (HMMs). It is essential that the structure of the address (name, street, city, country) is known, so that a specific small but complete dictionary can be selected. Upon choosing a wrong dictionary (OOV: out-of-vocabulary) or misrecognizing a word, the recognition result should be rejected by means of the confidence measure. This paper points out two aspects: the comparison of four confidence measures for single words - based on the likelihood, a garbage-model, a two-best recognition or a character decoding - and the comparison of using complete or wrong dictionaries. It is shown that the best confidence measure - the two-best distance - has a quite different behavior using OOV.
