Complete Kannada Optical Character Recognition with syntactical analysis of the script

In this paper, the development of Kannada optical character recognition (OCR) is discussed. In the process of development the preprocessing, segmentation, character recognition and post-processing modules were detailed in this paper. Since all most all the characters are in curve sharp, non-cursive the segmentation, character recognition and post processing is not easy for Kannada Script. Post Processing technique uses a dictionary based approach in order to increase the OCR output. At the end of this paper we have also discussed the syntactical analysis of Kannada Script. It is the analysis of grammatical errors in the language for kannada script.
