This is something that I would like to use too. In my testing so far, I found that the interword space is sometimes eliminated altogether in case of Hindi (randomly, as far as I can tell).
And, if there are paragraphs that start with indentation, then the segmentation goofs up and that line does not get recognized correctly. Maybe there are some config variables that I need to tweak to fix this.
