Abstract
We propose a segmentation-free approach for recognizing printed Devanagari script, eliminating the need for character-level segmentation and enabling end-to-end recognition of Devanagari text.
Overview
Devanagari script recognition presents unique challenges due to the connected nature of characters and the complexity of the script. Traditional approaches rely on character-level segmentation, which is error-prone and limits recognition accuracy.
Segmentation-Free Approach
We propose a segmentation-free method that performs end-to-end recognition of printed Devanagari text without requiring explicit character segmentation. This approach simplifies the recognition pipeline and improves overall accuracy.
