KrupaluFrom all I know, each of you is a busy person. Still I hope you may be able to give me some time for this 'divine' work. Please don't feel bad if you can not spare time for any reason.This is only a first-cut version. If you face any problem in the course of your evaluation, I will be more than happy to assist you in any manner you like. Please do not hesitate to call me.Dear Atmiya Friend,Namaste. Over the last couple of months or so, I have been programming in Python to demonstrate some of my ideas of what would help Samskrit community.Currently, my test input is based on 2 text files. Attached is a ZIP file containing one DOCX file (SktProcess4Intro.docx). Please open this first. This explains how various files enumerated in the ZIP were 'generated' by our software. With some Samskrit knowledge, we hope you can understand the 'why' and 'what' of this work.I request you to spare some of your valuable time and evaluate this work and see if you think it is relevant. I also request you to write-up some lines of your fair and free evaluation for helping us to decide our future course of action.Friends like Viswas Vasuki might already have all of this functionality and much more. I lacked the knowledge to use their 'Sandhi Engine', which came to me some time ago. However, we want to move to that soon, either with our own programming or seeking their active 'cooperation'.Thanks and regards,

Dear Vishvas,Many thanks for taking time to explain. You guessed it right! I am surely an old timer (now 65 years), of nuts and bolts technology. I left IT about 15 years ago and much seems to have changed. While Ramana is my close friend, I know Sai Susarla too personally. (In fact, I spent some time with him when he presented his ideas in Bengaluru for SB's website. I fondly remember his hospitality when I stayed at his home that night.) But for the confidence reposed by Vamshi Krishna Ghanapathi of Mysuru in my abilities, I would not have come this far with my efforts in this direction. Let me try with Sai's help now.
Also, some time ago, I thought that Shri Dhaval Patel was very seriously working on software of our interest. (I even reported an issue and he came back then with 'express speed' like you.) I would request any of you to bring him too into the loop, if you happen to have his email-id.
I look forward to all of you giving us at Hyderabad, a helping hand to be of service to Samskrit learners.
Coming back to the OCR issue, has anybody here converted (or supported somebody to do) any sizeable printed book into Unicode?
Thanks,Krupalu
