The paper presents an schema for description of shapes of Devanagari characters and its application in their recognition. It exploits certain features of the script in both reducing the search space and creating a reference with respect to which correspondence could be established, during the matching process. The description prototypes are constructed using the real-life script after segmentation so that the aberrations introduced during the inevitable process of segmentation get accounted for in the description. This has been tested on printed Devanagari text with a success of approximately 70% without any post-processing and 88% correct recognition with the help of a word dictionary.
