Bilingual Scanned Document Transcription and Font Encoding Normalization

Microsoft Word Tesseract OCR Kruti Dev Converter Unicode Python-docx
Developing practical solutions based on this demand…

Pain Points (Public)

Scanned or photographed bilingual correspondence (such as Hindi and English records) cannot be reliably digitized via off-the-shelf OCR due to complex ligatures, poor image clarity, and encoding conflicts between legacy 8-bit typing fonts like Kruti Dev and modern Unicode standards like Mangal.

Suggested Approach (Public)

A hybrid transcription and document reconstruction workflow combining script-aware OCR with manual layout alignment, font transcoding between legacy glyph encodings and Unicode, and final formatting in clean, editable Microsoft Word (.docx) files.
