Dear Shiju, Susantbhai.
"When we are able to store the books in its graphic format say DjVu
format. what is the need to type it? why not let it be as it is, the
reader will read it in its graphic format."
Thanks for this Q&A. Yes, this will help us.

Dear Wikimedians,
Here is a small blog post about the digitization of books using DjVu (or
about using Proofread extension).

Post is also placed in metawiki at

Few Indic wiki source communities (Sanskrit and Malayalam) are using this
method extensively to digitize the books. Few other communities are not
aware about the use of such an extension. This post is just to share the
best practices from differenent Indic wiki communities.
Going forward I will be sharing these type of best practices and lessons
from various Indic language wiki communities. This is essential since in
most cases challenges, issues, and solutions are similar.
Shiju Alex
