	abstract =	{In this paper we describe a system for the recognition of
	cursively handwritten words, using Hidden Markov Models. The 26 words
	of our vocabulary were selected by constructing and analyzing a grammar
	that defines the German amounts lower than one million. We collected
	13000 words of 500 different writers. Using a new perturbation approach
	instead of conventional normalization we could increase our recognition
	rate significantly on this database.},
