AksharaSetu
Document Digitization Engine designed to convert historical and multilingual scripts into accessible digital media.
THE SOLUTION & VALUE
High-Fidelity Document Digitization & Multilingual Script AI Engine
Historical archives, rare manuscripts, and regional Indic documents (Telugu, Sanskrit, Kannada) remain largely unsearchable and prone to physical deterioration. Standard commercial OCR tools struggle with complex conjunct characters, palm-leaf manuscripts, and archaic fonts.
Core Capabilities & Key Features
- Multilingual Indic OCR optimized for degraded, printed, and historical documents.
- Multi-model AI vision integration (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini 2.5 Pro, Azure OpenAI).
- Cross-platform client for Web, Windows Desktop, and Mobile built with Flutter & Riverpod.
- Granular text export with bounding box metadata, searchable PDFs, and JSON transcription.
Target Use Cases & Applications
- State and national cultural archives digitizing palm-leaf manuscripts and lithographs.
- Publishing houses and digital libraries preserving vernacular literature.
- Educational institutions indexing historical research papers and regional periodicals.
