Tesseract and Transformer

Manipuri Language - Tesseract OCR and NMT

First objective is to train a OCR model to recognise Manipuri words using Tesseract as backend engine. Second is to develop a transformer model for NMT which will be used in transliteration from Bengali script to Meitei Mayek. We also designed and develop the GUI feature for non-developers usage.
