A Bangla phonetic encoding for better spelling suggesions
(BRAC University, 2004)We present a phonetic encoding for Bangla that can be used by spelling checkers to provide better suggestions for misspelled words. The encoding is based on the Soundex algorithm, modified to match Bangla phonetics. We ... -
Skew angle detection of bangla script using radon transform
(BRAC University, 2006)Skew angle detection and correction an integral part of any OCR system. Without proper skew correction, the performance of an OCR will simply not be acceptable for most scanned images. We propose an innovative method for ... -
