Greetings
I am trying to OCR some documents that contain transliteration of Sanskrit, meaning that they are Latin characters with a set of about 10 diacritic marks above and below them, which are not standard.
In order to make my OCR software (ReadIris Pro) learn the right characters, I need advice.
First, have I the correct product to do what I need to do?

Re: OCR documents that contain transliteration of Sanskri
Well, when you scan the document does it scan correctly?

“Where do atomic bombs come from?”
Zen Master Seung Sahn said, “That’s simple. Atomic bombs come from the mind that likes this and doesn’t like that.”
"Even if you practice only for an hour a day with faith and inspiration, good qualities will steadily increase. Regular practice makes it easy to transform your mind. From seeing only relative truth, you will eventually reach a profound certainty in the meaning of absolute truth."

Would installing the Sanserif Pali font (http://www.dharanipitaka.net/2011/2008/ ... nspali.ttf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;) help?

Re: OCR documents that contain transliteration of Sanskri
Leo - I'm not familiar with Readiris, I typically use ABBYY Fine Reader (and I use a PC). However, you likely need a 'language pack' for Readiris that includes all Extended Latin characters. English language does not. French, Spanish, German do.
Hope this helps.
