This OCR program for Devanagari looks very useful.  As a Mac user, I wonder if there anything like this that would work on Mac OS?

Dear McComas and others,

the man behind indsenz is Oliver Hellwig, with whom I have been working together for many years in the now defunct Indological Department of the Freie Universität Berlin. I have been using the software for sanskritists he developed for many years now. He also developed the INDOSKRIPT database interface, which those concerned with Indian epigraphy might know. (It is available here: http://userpage.fu-berlin.de/falk/ ). With quite a lot of experience in OCR, I can assure you that there is nothing comparable to Indsenz's Devanagari OCR in the market. If you have a look at Indsenz's homepage, please also take a look at the SanskritTagger software, which is another tremendous tool being distributed as freeware by Oliver.

Best,

Jürgen

Colleagues, I never thought I would see the day, but I have just tried out Ind-senz's Sanskrit OCR software, with close to 100% success rate. I tested it out on a page of Lanman (good clear print) and got excellent results.

Highly recommended
