From: Martin Gluckman via INDOLOGY <[email protected]> Date: Sun, 2 Sep 2018 at 4:55 AM Subject: [INDOLOGY] Browser Based OCR Tool for Sanskrit To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Dear Friends, I am happy to announce the completion of our browser based OCR tool that has been developed for working primarily with Sanskrit text (Devanagari/IAST or mixed) is now ready. This tool makes use of Google's machine learning and supports many scripts including some undocumented and experimental ones so you might be pleasantly surprised that a rare script you are working on is supported or will be supported in future. You may access it herewith: https://ocr.sanskritdictionary.com/ To make use of it simply paste an image into the browser and the recognition will start automatically and output the text equivalent in Unicode text. I personally use a free tool called Lightshot <https://app.prntscr.com/en/index.html> to cut and paste selected parts of the screen. You may also manually upload an image file if you prefer. We have tested it with rather poorly printed texts and the results are very promising and we hope this will be of use to the scholarly community. As the system uses a machine learning engine it will constantly improve over time. I appreciate any feedback and suggestions for future improvement. With kindest wishes, Martin _______________________________________________ INDOLOGY mailing list [email protected] [email protected] (messages to the list's managing committee) http://listinfo.indology.info (where you can change your list options or unsubscribe) On Mon, Nov 29, 2021 at 7:37 PM Harry Spier via INDOLOGY < [email protected]> wrote: > Dear list members, > This link was given to me for online sanskrit OCR. > https://ocr.sanskritdictionary.com/ > > I don't recall if this has already been passed on to the list, but 've > just tried it, pasting in some text from a Chaukhamba publication from the > 1980's and it converted it to text perfectly.
