I conducted an initial study of Tesseract OCR. Details I have put up in

http://logbookofanobserver.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/tesseract-and-malayalam-some-intial-experiments/

Intial Observations and Future and Immediate plans i tried to explain there. I believe it is possible to get a pretty decent classifier system from tesseract. What i am not quite sure is, about the segmentation inputs and post processing done.

I am doing a proper study of the classifier system right now. Will be updating the current base system, which i updated with experimental Malayalam Support to a better system pretty soon!

The GSOC project failed to complete the project and we need somebody to take up. Note that it is not a good idea to start from the scratch.
This is is a high priority project.
http://code.google.com/p/tesseract-ocr will be a good starting point.

Antony and his friends from MES Engineering College ahve been doing a good work on akshara OCR http://sourceforge.net/projects/akshara

We'll get the code in svn once he finishes his exams. Also we need to have a website for akshara, any volunteers?

There has been following attempts in Malayalam OCR:

  1. By E C Vijil in 2001-2002. He was a student of Thrissur Engg
College and IIT Bombay. He didn't go much beyond initial concept of
idea. His email ids are vijilec അറ്റ് yahoo.com, vijilec അറ്റ്
hotmail.com. His Mizhi OCR site can still be accessed.
  2. The OCR used by Mr.Unni K Varma in Panchathanthra.org. This OCR
is in the beta stage of the development. It generates latex directly;
further details are not known. Contact address: contact അറ്റ്
panchathantra.org
  3. Chithira V (chitira അറ്റ് gmail.com), a student of Computer
Science & Engg. from Govt. Engg. College, Thrissur was doing a
Malayalam OCR development as a part of her final year project. Further

We need to have an ocr application for malayalam. We might want to have a serious look at http://sourceforge.net/projects/tesseract-ocr
