Hi,

     I am Swapnil Khedekar, working as Research
Assistant in CEDAR, Buffalo NY. I saw you referencing
our research center on this list.

      Currently we are working on developing new
page-segmentation techniques & character seperation &
recognition techniques for Devanagari Script. 

      I & Surya are working on developing a Truthing
application for training Devanagari OCR systems. It
will be made public in March in Hydrabad.

      Apart from us, there is lot of work going on in
this are under RMK Sinha at IIT Kanpur & under BB
Chaudhari at Indian Statistical Institute Kolkata.
Also many small projects are going on in some uni &
companies.

      One commercial Devanagari OCR is called
"Chitrankan" by C-DAC. I had worked on this project,
when I was in Pune. It was our effort to make it as
professional & advanced as Finereader. 

     I think more work is needed in recognition
algorithms, designing new set of classifiers which can
be extended to other similar Indian scripts. Also very
less work has been done in Devanagari Handwriting
recognition. 

     That's all I have to say. I am regularly reading
this list. It is really good to see you all working. 

     I have less knowledge of linux internals. But
still, if I could have been of any use to you, it will
be my pleasure.

Swapnil
