Hi all, Sorry for digging up an old thread, but saw there was an OCR application but it seems it wasn't open-source. There is/was no link given at https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_India_ 2016/Chandigarh_Hackathon Can somebody share more ? -- Regards, Shirish Agarwal शिरीष अग्रवाल My quotes in this email licensed under CC 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/ http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com EB80 462B 08E1 A0DE A73A 2C2F 9F3D C7A4 E1C4 D2D8 _______________________________________________ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

@Subhashish, Thank you for the link. I would take a look at it. If it's compilable under GNU/Linux it might be a good tool for unicode OCR usage in general use too. There aren't any or many effective tools who do good open-source OCR for unicode. Will try it out. Thank you again. On 21/01/2017, Subhashish Panigrahi <psubhashish(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Shirish, It's slightly tricky. Shrinivasan being a FOSS contributor himself has kindly released his software under a free license. But that software uses the API of Google's OCR and Google's OCR that is integrated into Google Drive is certainly proprietary. I'm not sure Shrini's tool can work for any FOSS OCR like Tesseract.

You read my mind mate. I was thinking the same thing, if it could be integrated into Tesseract. Sadly, haven't had time to play around with it and now your saying it's using Google's OCR bits is sadder. I do remember though, that about a year or two ago, there were some negotiations being held between wikimedia and Google to foss some of the unicode bits from Google. I don't remember the entire conversation but do recall there was some talk of Google using the Apache License or something. If you know what I'm talking about, please share.

any > FOSS OCR like Tesseract.

The open source Tesseract has not matured so far to OCR Indic Text. It works well with only english. Connecting with Google OCR is the only way we have to get a better OCR. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get Free Tamil Ebooks for Android, iOS, Kindle, Computer : http://FreeTamilEbooks.com
