Dear Sebastian

 The Dharmamitra project is preparing the training of OCR models for typeset Devanagi editions this summer,

Can you say a little more  about the project.
1) Is this to have different capabilities than SanskritCR (already available).  https://ocr.sanskritdictionary.com/ . From my brief use of SanskritCR it seems to work well for printed editions from the first half of the 20th century.

2) Is it the actual fonts you want, or sanskrit text written in different fonts.

3) If it's fonts you are looking for, is it unicode fonts you want.  The reason I'm asking is that the bulk of the literature (older than the last 20 years or so)  typeset by computer would be in non-unicode fonts.

Thanks,
