In this paper Author has described different issues of handwritten date segmentation task briefly along with its techniques. The paper describes a system develop to segments handwritten date information specifically written on bank checks. A system uses a newly adopted segmentation-based strategy. In order to achieve high performance in terms of efficiency and reliability, a knowledge-based module is proposed in order to segments the date. The interaction between the segmentation and recognition stages is properly established by using Segmented-Date generation and evaluation modules. The paper concludes with the current status of the effort made in segmentation of handwritten dates and future enhancement in the same direction. Keywords: OCR, Segmentation, Pattern-based grammar.
