[Wikimediaindia-l] seeking help with Hindi projects in Wikisource...
Hello, Can anyone here refer me to someone who is active in making Hindi-language contributions to Wikisource? I wish to meet someone with experience in that language and project. Otherwise, can anyone suggest to me which Indic languages in Wikisource seem to be most active? Is anyone able to make a recommendation for any OCR software for converting scanned Hindi language documents to digital text? Does anyone know anything about in-Wikisource support for OCR in Hindi language? Does it exist? Is there documentation? Thanks for anything anyone can share. yours, -- Lane Rasberry user:bluerasberry on Wikipedia 206.801.0814 l...@bluerasberry.com ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l

Hi, Google OCR for Devnagari (Languages like Hindi, Marathi etc) is used by many. Accuracy is about 85-90% which is pretty good. There is a paid OCR software available that gives better results. Can share the name if you are interested. I doubt if there is in-wikisource support for OCR in Indic languages. If you can specify a bit more on your requirements, people can suggest a possible solution.

Dear All,
*CENTRE FOR CONTEMPORARY STUDIES*
Invites you to a talk on:
*Human Knowledge: An Evolutionary Perspective*
{INSA Golden Jubilee Commemoration Medal (Animal Sciences) 2015 Lecture}
*Speaker:* Prof. Madhav Gadgil
*Day and Date:* Thursday 11th August 2016
*Time:* 5:00 pm
*Venue:* CCS Seminar Hall, IISc
Tea/Coffee will be served at 4.30 pm
All are cordially invited
*Abstract:* Life is an information-based, cooperative enterprise, evolving
organisms capable of continually handling {1} greater quantities {2} of
increasingly more complex information {3} ever more effectively. Social
animals have taken this to new heights, with humans surpassing them all
thanks to our language abilities, and capacity to elaborate an enormous
diversity of memes, ranging over mythologies to scientific knowledge.
Knowledge has grown through interplay of seeking after truth, monopolizing
knowledge and telling calculated lies; science has succeeded in ensuring
its truly progressive evolution by promoting diversity amongst knowledge
elements and a regime of selection that ensures objective validity and
internal consistency.

Hi, Write this script to connect Google OCR and WikiSource. Hindi is supported well. https://github.com/tshrinivasan/OCR4wikisource Check the README and INSTALL for setup instructions in ubuntu or any other linux. Ping me or here for any assistance. This is used by Tamil, Bengali wikisource communities heavily to OCR more than 2000 Books. -- 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 ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
