BanglaOCR version 0.6: CRBLP has released a new version of the BanglaOCR based on Tesseract's recognition engine for both Windows and Linux under the GNU Public License (GPL) version 2. This is really an alpha release aimed to get feedback from those who are familiar with the Bangla script. We hope to release a 1.0 version sometime early next year.

* Optimizations: Now the HTML file Converter converts all HTML nodes (tags) instead of just the SPAN tag.
* New Feature: Now an HTML file is generated retaining all formatting from an HTML input file. (The previous version generated a Plain Text File). It also supports multiple fonts (including English) in a file.

CRBLPConverter version 1.0: CRBLPConverter is a software package to convert various TTF encoded Bangla documents to Unicode encoding. There are thousands of Bangla documents that are encoded with various fonts (typically called “ASCII fonts”), which are wholly incompatible with one another, and in some cases, proprietary. To make matters worse, some of the Bangla so called ASCII fonts change the underlying encoding from version to version without changing the version number. This software is designed to automate the process of converting this large body of existing Bangla documents in different formats such as HTML and Microsoft Word to Unicode. CRBLPConverter includes converters for SutonnyMJ, Bangsee Alpona, Prothoma, and Alo. In the case of SuttonyMJ, different versions of Bijoy use different encodings, which forces the user to specify which version of Bijoy the original document was written with. This software is free and open source, released under the GNU Public License (GPL) version 2. [Download CRBLPConverter V1.0] [Release notes]
