# Historic Scripts to Modern Vision: Modi to Devanagari Transliteration Dataset
This dataset supports research in the transliteration of **Modi script**—an ancient Indian script historically used in Maharashtra—into **Devanagari**, the script currently used for Marathi and several other Indian languages.
The dataset was introduced in the following paper:
> **Historic Scripts to Modern Vision: A Novel Dataset and A VLM Framework for Transliteration of Modi Script to Devanagari**
> *Harshal Kausadikar, Tanvi Kale, Onkar Susladkar, Sparsh Mittal*
> **Accepted at ICDAR 2025**
> [arXiv:2503.13060v2](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.13060v2)
## Dataset Features
- **Modi script image patches**
- **Aligned Devanagari transliterations**
- Covers a diverse range of historical Modi handwriting styles
- Suitable for OCR, script transliteration, vision-language modeling, and low-resource script research
## Usage
This dataset is ideal for:
- Handwritten script recognition and transliteration
- Vision-language model (VLM) training for historical scripts
- Document digitization and cultural heritage preservation
