I am pleased to announce several significant updates to the Dharmamitra 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. 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,
