Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a widely-known technique to recognize the printed text using computer with the help of various peripheral devices. Research works for OCR of many languages scripts is in process and many languages are still far away. Gujarati script is one of the least focused script in research area of OCR as compared to other scripts. A wellknown Open Source OCR Engine called Tesseract which is already used for the recognition of numerous scripts, can be used to…

Implementation of Words and Characters Segmentation of Gujarati Script Using MATLAB
TLDR
A novel algorithm is proposed which considers input from a text file containing Gujarati script and segments words and characters and is validated with 10 numbers written in words and implemented using MATLAB.
Ekstraksi Karakter Citra Menggunakan Optical Character Recognition Untuk Pencetakan Nomor Kendaraan Pada Struk Parkir
TLDR
The license plate number can be printed on the parking receipt by extracting the characters from the vehicle image which is generally acquired at the parking entrance portal by using the Optical Character Recognition method using the Tesseract library.
Deep Learning Approach for Spoken Digit Recognition in Gujarati Language
TLDR

TLDR
An OCR system that separates and identify mixed English-Gujarati digits and gives average accuracy of 99.26% for Gujarati digits, 99.20% for English digits, and overall accuracy 99.23%.
Classification of offline gujarati handwritten characters
TLDR
A new Combination of Structural and Statistical methods (Freeman chain code, Hu's invariant moment and center of mass) to extract feature vectors results into good amount of accuracy.
Zone identification in the printed Gujarati text
TLDR
A sophisticated method for accurate zone detection in images of printed Gujarati is proposed and it is expected that this approach shall make the way smoother for the design and development of Gujarati OCR systems for complete character sets.
