Subhashish here. Hope you remember meeting the Odia Wikipedia community at Srujanika last year. I met Pushpashree apa recently and heard about the progress on the OCR front.
Odia OCR is something that is going to be really useful for the Odia community specifically the Wikimedia community. We are organizing a discussion forum and workshop during the 29th and 30th of this month to discuss certain such topics related Odia language and computing. So, I would like to take the privilege to invite you for this event. The first day (29th) of the event is planned for the general public and the second day is planned for the Wikimedia community. Please do let me know if it would be possible for you to present about the Odia OCR initiatives and progress.
The other thing is about the prototype OCR package for Odia. Is there any place where the source code and test files are found? If not could I request for creating on Github/Bibucket so that could be useful for the participants of this two day session to go back and work on the code.
I have been sharing your work on the Akruti-Unicode converter with peers, students at IIMC, Dhenkanal and it is really useful. We are planning to distribute DVDs containing such applications that are available in Creative Commons licenses. I could not locate any documentation and license notes for the two converters available at https://bitbucket.org/rebati/rebati/downloads. Could I request you to create one so we could add them in the DVD with attribution?
