                         the recognition of handwritten information. However, in order to 
                         do this, it is necessary to use a reliable and efficient process 
                         able to identify and to extract the information, which can then be 
                         submitted to a further recognition phase. In this paper we present 
                         a process for identifying and distinguishing between handwritten 
                         information and machine printed text based on a set of local 
                         features. This process is based on the characterization of textual 
                         elements via properties derived from their content and their 
                         shape. The main advantage of this process compared with other 
                         similar approaches is that no a priori information of the treated 
                         document is used, thus making it more generic and effective.",
