[INDOLOGY] Dharmamitra Updates regarding OCR and Chrome Extension

[Sebastian Nehrdich]

Dear List members,

I am pleased to announce several significant updates to the Dharmamitra
<https://dharmamitra.org> platform that will be of interest to researchers
in our field.

*New OCR Capabilities*  As Tyler Neill mentioned, Dharmamitra now features
fast OCR processing powered by the Gemini engine. Users can upload PDF
files up to 100MB in size, with automatic conversion to IAST or Wylie
transliteration if needed. We are also working on our own specialized OCR
engine for Sanskrit.

*Enhanced Translation Tools* The platform's translator now includes an
"upload image" input option, allowing researchers to move directly from
screenshots of texts to translations.

*Updated Chrome Extension* We have significantly overhauled our Google
Chrome extension, which can be found here
<https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/dharmamitra-language-tool/jlmleoklbpdehnokplffodjomekoiadl>.
The chrome extension makes it possible to use Dharmamitra seamlessly when
browsing GRETIL etexts, BuddhaNexus, DSBC etc.

These developments aim to facilitate the work of translators and
philological researchers.

We extend our gratitude to the Tsadra Foundation for their significant
support in making these advances possible.

Best regards,

Sebastian
