That is very convenient solution, Shree Devi ji.
However, if sed or other "substitutors" are not there, or if one wants
to avoid using them, I think it can be done using built in
post-processing method of tesseract.
use san.DangAmbigs.txt or hin.DangAmbigs.txt whichever language you are
using.
then put them as
Å=Ā
one per line.
Should it work equally well and automatically, without needing manual step?
if so, then, Shree Devi ji, is there any major benefit of post
processing in sed?
Please remind me where this DangAmbigs file is to be put?
Thanks.

I think rather than try to OCR, please extract the text and then run a
conversion script to change the letters with diacritical marks.
eg. you would do the following substitution using sed for the sample
text from page 11
s/Å/Ā/g
s/å/ā/g
s/®/ṛ/g
s/ß/ṣ/g
s/∫/ṇ/g
s/î/ī/g
s/Ê/Ī/g
s/¸/Ś/g
s/Ω/ś/g
s/ü/ū/g
Also attaching sed script as a utf-8 text file.

those Ā á character are defined in Garamond font, but the ASCII code
used in this document is not the same as defined in Garamond font.
So, it is some other font where these ASCII codes have been defined
for this character.
The document list a dozen fonts, some of it might be that. you need
to figure out which font it could be, by hammer hit trial error method.
Thanks.

Ok, you can try page 11. There is glossary and lots of words with
diacritics. Thanks.

"words with sanskrit transliteration marks are used"
could you please point out exact pages where to look for
it. I will
try to ocr it and see the results.
Also,

The above page and several links from that page also have a
lot of
Sanskrit fonts. Maybe someone might be used by you.
Thanks.

Hi Rawat!
I'm really sorry, I didn't know that this is a mailing
list type of
forum ;-(
Second, if you look carefully, you will see that the
text is not
entirely english. In many places words with sanskrit
transliteration
marks are used. But as you said, it can actually
copy/pasted and it
didn't even come to my mind! So this part is actually
working
and that
is great! So I am almost there. The remaining problem
is another
type.
The provided tamalten font will display the marks, but
I need to use
another font to display the final document. It also
contains the
same
diacritical marks but uses another encoding. But this
might be a
question to another person, I know the author of the
fonts, I
will ask
him. Thanks for the help!
Btw. If anyone needs to use sanskrit transliterated
fonts, here
are the
resources:

Dear Sir Srivas ji,
firstly, you should not have sent 2.2 MB 68 page
pdf file
and 181 KB
zip
to all the list members unasked. You could have
loaded it
somewhere and
sent the link so that only those download it who can
contribute in it.
It is a wastage of time and bandwidth to get such huge
messages.
Secondly, I couldn't really understand your issue.
I saw
your pdf file.
it is pure English. You can open it in any pdf
reader and
just copy
entire text from there and paste in a text or word
file.
So, what else
exactly you are looking for, please elaborate.
you don't even need to ocr it. These are already
ASCII text.
Thanks.
