Study and Analysis of Various OCRs for Hindi And Gurumukhi Language

Abstract-- Optical character recognition, usually abbreviated to OCR, is the mechanical or electronic conversion of scanned images of handwritten, typewritten or printed text into machine-encoded text. Optical Character Recognition is the oldest data entry technique in existence. Data Entry through OCR is faster, more accurate, and generally more efficient than keystroke data entry. It is widely used as a form of data entry from some sort of original paper data source, whether documents, sales receipts, mail, or any number of printed records. It is crucial to the computerization of printed texts so that they can be electronically searched, stored more compactly, displayed on-line, and used in machine processes such as machine translation, text-to-speech and text mining. OCR is a field of research in pattern recognition, artificial intelligence and computer vision. Keywords-- OCR, Machine processes, Machine translation code analyzer
