Hello people.

As promised at the last ILUG-HYD meet, what you saw in the meet has been
put online as a free (as in beer) service to anybody who is interested in OCR'ing
Telugu Document Images with their layout preserved. You can submit an
image (preferrably scanned at >250dpi) of any Telugu text and get back
formatted HTML in UTF-8. That makes your text searchable, editable and
indexable. It has a variety of uses. Talking of all that is beyond the
scope of this list. 

Check out http://lihkin.net/velugu/ for more on that. This is an initial
launch, so expect a lot of errors/problems. Please let me know if you
find any. As mentioned in an earlier post, all flames on the the accuracy of
the OCR can be redirected to Chandra Kanth and all your flames on the layout
(that includes tables, font sizes, et al) restoration can be showered on
me. Its a work in progress, so I'll keep fixing stuff as it goes.

Nikhil.

PS: Yeah, I never tried my hand at web-designing. I know I suck. Thank you.

I guess that's why people care: Simplicity is Divine.
