If you uploaded a sample scanned image to this forum, others (including myself) could try it with tesseract. I'm not sure how much difference there is between font(s) in (older?) Nepali documents and Hindi documents... While the alphabet is the same (correct me if i'm wrong), maybe the styles (font variations) are different enough to call for separate training (?) But I don't think it should be SO different as to negate the following deductive statement: "If tesseract is trainable for Hindi, it should be trainable for Nepali ". Or, IOW: At best -- you can piggyback on the hindi training; at worst, you'll need to train specifically for nepali (therewith achieving accuracy comparable to the one with Hindi). Of course, not being an expert on this, i may have to eat my words ... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
