In this paper I propose a scheme for “Online Bangla Handwritten Compound Word Recognition” based on segmentation of word into its constituent characters with more accuracy. The goal of this Paper is to develop a system for segmentation of Bengali Compound Word into its constituent characters or basic strokes and then to recognize each character individually based on stroke generation, thus the recognizer can recognize the entire word. I achieved the correct segmentation rate of 87% and the overall recognition rate of 73% on a dataset of 4200 Bangla Compound Words.

Compound Word, Segmentation, Under Segmentation, Over Segmentation.
