Hi All,

I am Murthy Raju from Chennai and have just joined the group. I am not a
developer of C or C++, but would love to be of any help with my knowledge of
Telugu, Tamil and Hindi.

I attended Debayan Banerjee's talk at Foss.in on his OCR project and was
very impressed with it. Will be glad to be of some help there. I mentioned
to Debayan when I met him at Foss.in about Project Madurai (
http://www.projectmadurai.org/) started about 10 years ago, an initiative
similar to Project Gutenberg, to make available digital texts of various
Open Domain Tamil books. They have a few thousands completed works available
for download now.

This was a voluntary effort and I remember that at least in some cases,
they had made scanned images of pages of the original texts available to the
volunteers. If those scanned images are available now, it will be an
interesting repository because they would have matching near perfect
digitized text version associated with them. I can check up if they are
going to be useful in the OCR effort of Debayan.

Regards,
Murthy Raju
