I'm not involved in development here whatsoever. However I just
wanted to opine that IMO, this is likely exactly the kind of
project JOCR would excel in. Just that you would need to be
aiming at a whole different set of characters than roman script,
eh?

Best of luck here. Arabic numerals can't be so hard. People want
to read licence plates off fotos of cars and such, for instance.
