Extracting text from Hindi documents has traditionally been a challenge for OCR engines due to the complexity of the Devanagari script. However, with modern AI-driven structural analysis, achieving 99%+ accuracy is now possible.
Why Hindi OCR is Difficult
Hindi script involves conjunct characters (shabd) and vowel markers (matras) that can sometimes overlap. Standard OCR engines often misinterpret these as noise or separate characters.
The Solution: PaperMaker Engine
Our PaperMaker engine uses deep learning models specifically trained on diverse Devanagari datasets. This allows it to recognize not just individual characters but the linguistic context around them.
