DEVANAGARI OCR SYSTEM:-An Optical Character Recognition (OCR) system to recognize a wide variety of fonts in Devanagari Script. Though a multitude of products are available for character recognition in Roman script, very few, if any, are available for Devanagari. Whatever work has been done, it has mostly been a part of some academic project and hence they are not useful for any practical application. The major areas of application of Devanagari character recognition would be in following areas- 1. Digitizing existing government documen ....etc

Neural Networks for Unicode Optical Character Recognition
Abstract: The central objective of this project is demonstrating the capabilities of Artificial Neural Network implementations in recognizing extended sets of optical language symbols. The applications of this technique range from document digitizing and preservation to handwritten text recognition in handheld devices. The classic difficulty of being able to correctly recognize even typed optical language symbols is the complex irregularity among pictorial representations of the same c ....etc

Unicode provides a unique number for every character,
no matter what the platform,
no matter what the program,
no matter what the language.

Fundamentally, computers just deal with numbers. They store letters and other characters by assigning a number for each one. Before Unicode was invented, there were hundreds of different encoding systems for assigning these numbers. No single encoding could contain enough characters: for example, the European Union alone requires several different encodings to cover all its languages. Ev ....etc

Abstract
India is a multi-lingual, multi-script country. Considerably less work has been done towards handwritten character recognition of Indian languages than for other languages. This dissertation describes an optical character recognition system for printed text documents in Kannada, a South Indian language. The input to the system would be the scanned image of a page of text and the output is a machine editable file compatible with most typesetting software. The system first extracts words from the document image and then segmen ....etc

Unicode OCR using Artificial Neural Network methods

This project will recognizes typed latin optical characters and outputs the corresponding Unicode value and character. It is implemented using Artificial Neural Network methods and can be trained for any available font type.

The central objective of this project is demonstrating the capabilities of Artificial Neural Network implementations in recognizing extended sets of optical language symbols. The applications of this technique range from document digitizing and preservation to handw ....etc

migration of a 4GL and relation data base to unicode


This technical presentation will describe the migration of an existing multi-platform, international, n-tier, relational DBMS and its 4GL programming language to support Unicode. As the migration strategy is based on existing support for double-byte character sets, this approach should be especially interesting for Asian developers.

Technical decisions and tradeoffs made during the design process and some of the implementation tactics used, ....etc

Unicode

Unicode is an accepted international standard for 16-bit encoding of characters so providing support for an extensive range of character sets including Japanese and Chinese. Many modern software products claim to be Unicode capable in the anticipation of the wider use of Unicode. However currently there do not appear to be any significant Unicode text products available. The project is to investigate Unicode and the requirements of software to edit ....etc

Abstract
An OCR system constitutes a natural way of providing input to a machinetranslation system. The document is optically scanned. The front end OCR systemextracts text zone and reads the text. The translator, when presented with recognizedsource text, produces a corresponding document with the text content translated in thespeci_ed language.Indian scripts are two dimensional composition of symbols. Therefore, a textreading system, _rst segments the text into symbols. The segmented units are classi-_ed with the help of p ....etc
