I have been looking into the Tesseract source code of late. i was
trying to write some small files calling the api and do simple stuff
like getting bounding boxes for glyphs and getting baselines etc. I
also have been trying to modify the way Tesseract combines 2 connected
components together if they are not separated horizontally. If we can
change this, and if we can simply 'clip' the point between

the consonant and the descending vowel, Tesseract will do the rest.

I had committed to creating a high level schematic diagram of the OCR
we are trying to create, but right now I am not very sure what
architecture we will follow, because it depends on how our algorithms
work out.
