Javanese script is one of Indonesia's cultural heritages. It was once widely used as a means of communication, but as time has progressed, Javanese script has come to be used far less. This decline reflects a decrease in public interest in learning Javanese script. A pattern-recognition model is therefore needed to help a computer system recognize words written in Javanese script. Such a model can be built using the backpropagation neural network method combined with wavelet transform feature extraction. The training data consisted of 560 images collected by the author, divided into 14 classes, while the testing data consisted of handwritten samples from 5 different respondents. The data were first segmented to separate the individual characters; feature extraction was then performed using the wavelet transform, and the resulting features were evaluated with the backpropagation network to determine recognition accuracy. The results show that combining wavelet transform feature extraction with the backpropagation algorithm gives good performance, achieving the highest accuracy of 84.18%, correctly recognizing 181 of 215 test images.
