it was really pleasant to listen to the different t t s but i need to try it
out myself. if you want a copy for yourself then please write to professor
hema murthy on her email id:

if you are using windows version then you might face some problem but in
linux version it is very good. you can use linux or  fedora.

regarding hindi o c r  you have to get yourself registered on the t d i l
website and start using the service. you can upload single image at a time.
if any of you have problem using this then mail directly to me.
