15. A system of determining an input character based upon character recognition output, the system comprising: a computing device; and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in communication with the computing device, wherein the computer-readable storage medium comprises one or more programming instructions that, when executed, cause the computing device to: receive a proposed value generated using character recognition, wherein the proposed value is associated with at least one handwritten character of an assessment, and determine whether the proposed value is correct, by: determining a posterior probability associated with each of one or more possible characters, identifying the possible character associated with the posterior probability having a highest value, and in response to identifying the proposed value as the possible character associated with the posterior probability having a highest value, determining, by the processing device, that the proposed value is correct, otherwise, determining that the proposed value is incorrect.
