Constraints in Developing a Complete Bengali Optical Character Recognition System

Technological advancement has led to digitizing hard copies of media effortlessly with optical character recognition (OCR) system. As OCR systems are being used constantly, converting printed or handwritten documents and books have become simple and time efficient. To be a fully functional structure, Bengali OCR system needs to overcome some constraints involved in pre-processing, segmentation and recognition phase. The aim of this research is to analyze the challenges prevalent in developing a Bengali OCR system through robust literature review and implementation.
