Pain Points (Public)

Archivists and publishers face high character error rates when digitizing physical Hindi books using standard OCR, particularly with complex Devanagari ligatures and vintage typography, making it difficult to convert full volumes into digital formats while strictly preserving original page breaks, running pagination, and exact punctuation.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Implement a specialized transcription and verification workflow combining Devanagari-trained OCR engines (such as Google Cloud Vision API or Tesseract) with human-in-the-loop editorial proofreading to output clean Unicode text while strictly mirroring original page breaks and pagination metadata.
