I figured Silklist would be the best place to start asking this: My aunt helps with the Special Ed Cell at Jadavpur University (Kolkata) and the Cell has so far been providing assistive and accessible technologies and services like screen readers, braille printers, etc. They are planning to buy a more elaborate document/image scanner than the simple SOHO flat-bed they have right now, and hope to also make electronic versions of Bengali texts (that are in the public domain) available on their website. The question is - how easy is it to get from Bengali printed text to electronic text? Searches so far have revealed that the Indian Statistical Institure (ISI, Kolkata) and CDAC, Pune have a Bengali OCR package but the sites are singularly unhelpful when it comes to details about how it works, features, and accuracy. If any of you have any information on what the best way to go about this would be (suggestions for other packages, pointers to people), that would be great.
