                         recognition of the handwritten legal amount in Brazilian bank 
                         checks. Our strategy used to approach the handwritten legal amount 
                         recognition problem puts on evidence the keywords: {"}mil{"}, 
                         {"}reals/real{"}, {"}centavos/centavo{"} which are almost always 
                         present in each amount. The recognizer, based on hidden markov 
                         models, does a global word analysis, therefore, it does not carry 
                         out an explicit segmentation of words into characters or 
                         pseudo-characters. In this context, each word image is transformed 
                         into a sequence of observations using pre-processing and feature 
                         extraction stages. Our system, when tested on our database 
                         simulating Brazilian bank checks, shows the viability of our 
                         approach.",
