Normalisation of handwriting speed for online Arabic characters recognition

This chapter details Thomas Jefferson’s dealings with Ezra Stiles, President of Yale and New England’s leading intellectual. Stiles became Jefferson’s confidant in 1786. Meeting only a month before Jefferson embarked overseas from Boston on July 5, 1784, the two men enjoyed an immediate connection, despite their divergent roles and regions. A master of many disciplines, Stiles was most distinguished by a single interest in particular: his facility with Middle Eastern languages. Jefferson shared anxieties with Stiles concerning Muslim captivity—captivity not of a single person, however, but of an entire nation, sharply criticizing Ottoman occupation of Greece. Anticipating future experiences of his new friend and a later U.S. President, Stiles also gained access to manuscripts arising from Muslim captivity and Arabic documents written by African slaves.

Handwriting Speed

The Handwriting Speed Test (HST), a standardized, norm-referenced test, was developed to provide an objective evaluation of the handwriting speed of school students from approximately 8 to 18 years of age. Part of the test development involved an examination of interrater reliability. Two raters scored 165 (13%) of the total 1292 handwriting samples. Using intraclass correlation coefficients, the interrater reliability was found to be excellent (ICC=1.00, P<0.0001). The process of examining interrater reliability resulted in modification to the scoring criteria of the test. Excellent interrater reliability provides support for the HST as a valuable clinical and research tool.
