Aptra Problem Statement

  1. Optical character recognition (OCR) (handwritten Kannada) images to text or pdf

format.
Optical character recognition (OCR) software is capable of turning images (handwritten Kannada) into text or pdf, but it is not perfect. There are sources of errors that occur because of the nature of the image itself (rotation, sizing, etc.) that should be handled, but there are other sources of errors that need to be handled, after the image is converted to text. Among the more common types of errors are segmentation errors (too m uc h wh itespac e or toolittle whitespace), character rnisrecognitioii, smudges that could cause misrecognition of pun,ctuation. Your challenge is to train a model to find and correct the types of common issues described above to more than 85% accuracy.

  1. Chatbot for retrieving data from database
