Font-Based Text Steganography for Covert Communication in Devanagari Script: A Review (2020–2026)
Abstract: Steganography hides the fact that a communication exists rather than merely safeguarding its content. Text is the most challenging of all steganographic media because it contains the least redundancy and is the most sensitive to changes. Devanagari script, with its conjunct consonants, ligatures, matras, and non-linear glyph construction, makes these difficulties even harder, rendering rendering-dependent and OCR- based steganographic methods largely ineffective. This paper presents a systematic review of text …

Devanagari Script Recognition System using Combined Approach
Abstract: We envisioned serving simple technique with novel idea for the newcomers, working in the Devnagari Optical Character Recognition (DOCR) area. In this system, template matching technique and statistical technique is combinely used for the character recognition. Statistical information is considered as a feature of an image and here pixels values are considered as feature to achieve the recognition. The numbers of comparisons are drastically reduced compared to traditional template matching …

Optimized Text Extraction and E-Repository Development of Hindi and Punjabi Documents Using OCR and NLP Techniques
Abstract: Increase in digitalization of content in the form of text content necessitates powerful document and text extraction systems, particularly for Indian languages such as Hindi and Punjabi. The existing Optical Character Recognition (OCR) solutions support major scripts such as English, leaving a research opportunity for effective recognition of Devanagari and Gurmukhi scripts. This study recommends a modified text extraction algorithm based on Tesseract OCR, accompanied by preprocessing steps of conversion …

Handwritten Sanskrit Word Recognition: A Deep Learning Approach Using AlexNet
Abstract: Handwritten Sanskrit word recognition poses significant challenges due to the intricate structure of the script and the considerable variations in handwriting across individuals. To address these challenges, this research introduces a novel methodology employing transfer learning with the AlexNet convolutional neural network. The study utilized two distinct datasets: a specifically curated Sanskrit word image dataset containing 2616 samples, alongside a broader Devanagari character dataset used for validation purposes. The established …
