Hello,
A person in a local Wikisource workshop asked me if we could download
all material of a specific work to proofread it offline. So download
both the pictures and the OCRed text. Additionaly I think it would be
good to provide tool to at least have side by side plain text and pictures.
So, are you aware of anything close to such a tool? :)
Cheers
Hi all,
On behalf of West Bengal Wikimedians User Group, I am happy to announce
that Dr. Tapodhir Bhattacharjee, Ex-Vice chancellor of Assam University,
has kindly released copyright of 5 of his books under CC-BY-SA 4.0 license.
The books are uploaded to Commons and are now in the hands of Bengali and
English Wikisourcers for further work. Kudos to Dr. Tanmay Bir and Jayanta
Nath for their effort to release, scan and upload the content.
Thanks,

Hi,
For last few weeks, Google OCR using Drive API has stopped working for few
Indic scripts like Bengali and Devanagari affecting Bengali, Sanskrit and
Assamese Wikisource. It's still working for other Indic scripts, I guess.
If anyone have any contact with Google, we need to know if this temporary
or any plan for major change is underway.
This is extremely important as this will drastically sooner or later affect
every Indic Wikisource projects and we have to plan accordingly.

Bodhisattwa
