# Dataset Card for Odia Lipi OCR Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
### Dataset Description |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is part of the Odia Lipi Project, an open and collaborative initiative led in collaboration with AHRC IIT Bhubaneswar, aimed at building high-quality OCR resources for the Odia language. It contains scanned page images paired with human-validated Odia text, intended to support OCR model training, post-OCR correction, NLP research, and the digital preservation of Odia literature and documents. |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset currently focuses on accurately digitizing printed Odia text and is designed to be extended to handwritten sources and multimodal OCR settings in future releases. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Uses |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is intended for: |
|
|
- Training and evaluating **OCR models** for the Odia language |
|
|
- **Post-OCR text correction** and alignment tasks |
|
|
- **NLP research** in low-resource Indian languages |
|
|
- **Digitization and preservation** of Odia books, manuscripts, and archival documents |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset may also be used for academic research and non-commercial applications focused on language technology and cultural preservation. |
