Cheers!! > There is still a long way to go for an accurate OCR application for scanned image of printed text let alone the handwritten scanned documents, the latter entailing additional challenges as handwritten texts are hardly uniform and clean compared to printed text. There are issues over segmentation of words in Nepali. Tesseract although is a good classifier or recognition engine does not recognize conjoined characters. There is hence the challenge to develop an accurate segmentation module. We have made some effort in the past on this front in the past and it would be really great if somebody could take this up to further the work. Details of the work can be found in the links that I shared earlier under this thread.
