Abstract All of current On-line handwriting recognition text input method for Thai scripts systems is based on traditional writing system or natural writing. They tried to fulfill user satisfaction by providing a user friendly and easy-to-use system. Those systems allow user to write freestyle unconstrained handwriting, which is perceived as very convenient. Nevertheless, in practice users have found an error in recognition frequently. Our proposed method aims to reduce the error rate through a different way of thinking. We design an easy-to-write constructed scripts based on a dot line of the scripts, which children use for their handwriting practice. We will not be concerned about headings and lines, but points. Only significant points which represent that script will be used in recognition process. If we draw the straight line between those points, the shape of the script will be similar to one of the simple unconstrained handwriting, which is easy to write. We hope that with this method the error recognition rate will be reduced.
