Pain Points (Public)

Standard optical character recognition (OCR) tools fail to reliably parse handwritten Devanagari scripts and complex ligatures, while standard automated conversions cannot preserve strict structural formatting requirements such as precise paragraph flow, original line wraps, and exact visual margins.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Deliver an end-to-end transcription and desktop publishing pipeline utilizing native Unicode typing, dual-pane manual proofreading, and typesetting in tools like InDesign or XeLaTeX to output vector PDFs that replicate the source document's line breaks and spacing with zero typographical defects.
