Abstract
A neural network is used to recognize characters from a character set. Based upon the character recognized, a smaller neural network is used for verification of the character recognized. The smaller neural network is trained to recognize only a single character of the set and provides a 'yes' or 'no' type verification of correct identification of the character.
