India has a multilingual society and most Indians are polyglots, capable of speaking several languages. However, many of them would not be familiar with all those scripts. Thus, the script may be a barrier to access content in some of the languages. This paper presents a browser plugin to Google Chrome, which instantly transliterates a website present in any Indic script to Kannada. Our plugin exploits...
In optical character recognition of very old books, the recognition accuracy drops mainly due to the merging or breaking of characters. In this paper, we propose the first algorithm to segment merged Kannada characters by using a hypothesis to select the positions to be cut. This method searches for the best possible positions to segment, by taking into account the support vector machine classifier's...
A new method based on unit continuity metric (UCM) is proposed for optimal unit selection in text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis. UCM employs two features, namely, pitch continuity metric and spectral continuity metric. The methods have been implemented and tested on our test bed called MILE-TTS and it is available as web demo. After verification by a self selection test, the algorithms are evaluated on...
