We've all been there. You have a photo of some old Tamil lyrics, a handwritten letter from your grandma, or class notes that you need to type out.
Retyping it manually takes hours. But thanks to modern AI (Optical Character Recognition), you can now convert that image into editable text in literal seconds.
The Problem with Old OCR Tools
Until recently, most "Image to Text" tools failed miserably with Tamil.
- They confused similar letters like ல and வ.
- They couldn't handle "pulli" (dots) correctly (க், ச்).
- They completely failed with cursive or messy handwriting.
Introducing Sariya's Handwriting Tool
We built a specialized AI model trained on thousands of Tamil handwriting samples. It doesn't just "scan" the image; it "reads" it like a human would.
How to Use It:
- Go to the Tamil Handwriting Tool.
- Upload your image (JPG, PNG) or take a photo.
- Click "Extract Text".
- Copy the text and use it anywhere!
Tips for Best Accuracy
While the AI is powerful, following these tips will give you 100% accuracy:
1. Good Lighting
Ensure the photo is bright. Shadows falling across the text can confuse the scanner.
2. Avoid Curved Pages
If you are scanning a book, try to flatten the page. Curves distort the letters, making lines look wavy.
3. Handwriting Legibility
The tool works on cursive, but "doctor's handwriting" is still a challenge! If a human can't read it, the AI probably can't either.
Who is this tool for?
- Students: Digitize your handwritten class notes.
- Researchers: Archive old manuscripts and documents.
- Data Entry: Save hours of manual typing time.
