Pain Points (Public)

Researchers and publishers holding physical printed historical texts in Devanagari script face high error rates from standard OCR engines on complex Indic ligatures and diacritics, while their archival requirements demand rigorous preservation of original orthography, archaic punctuation, and exact running page breaks.

Suggested Approach (Public)

Implement a human-in-the-loop digitization workflow combining initial Indic OCR extraction via Google Cloud Vision with manual verification by Devanagari typists, ensuring 1:1 structural fidelity for ligatures, running headers, and pagination into clean DOCX or InDesign formats.
