Abstract

This paper focuses on recognizing Tamil characters that are handwritten and displaying their digital variant. Tamil is a regional language and one of the classical languages of India. Tamil literature has a significance of over four thousands years and many of those literatures are yet to be digitized. The main objective of this paper is to convert old handwritten Tamil documents or scriptures into their digital form so that they can be preserved over a long period of time. Character recognition generally can be implemented by using either CNN or OCR methodologies. In this paper we will be using Optical Character Recognition commonly known as OCR for implementation. It is a technique which involves four modules in order to recognize the characters.
