Does anybody have any idea about any recent work being done on optical character recognition for Indian scripts using modern Machine Learning techniques ? I know of some research being done at ISI, calcutta, but nothing new has come up in the last 3-4 years to the best of my knowledge, and OCR for Devanagari is sadly lacking!

FYI: There's an article in the New York Times from 2003 referencing a tool called ILT.

This is surely too old to be useful, but is cool: a video of the Ingalls speaking on Sanskrit and OCR. (Daniel H. H. Ingalls, Sr., Sanskrit professor and translator, and his son Dan Ingalls, computer scientist involved with Smalltalk etc.) The first half is Ingalls Sr. describing a project to automatically analyze text, and the second is by Ingalls Jr. describing how he implemented OCR for Sanskrit from scratch.
