Krishna Tulsyan, Tessy Flemin, Ajoy Mondal, C. V. Jawahar · 2024
India’s linguistic diversity is a testament to the cultural richness of the subcontinent, with 22 officially recognized languages, each possessing its unique script and identity. In this context, the need for efficient Optical Character Recognition (OCR) tools tailored to the complexities of these languages is paramount. IndicOCR is introduced as an innovative OCR pipeline designed to address this challenge. This paper aims to shed light on the capabilities of IndicOCR, underlining its role in bridging the gap between India’s linguistic heritage and the ever-expanding digital world. Finally, IndicOCR1 is a powerful tool for inclusivity, preservation, and progress in a linguistically diverse society.
