Using OCR and LLMs to digitize Indian public domain books — Kannada, Sanskrit, texts that exist in exactly one crumbling copy somewhere in a government archive.

Akshara.ink is a passion project dedicated to rescuing India’s written heritage trapped in poorly scanned PDFs and making it readable and accessible.

Using OCR and LLM technologies, the project extracts text from old, unreadable documents and publishes them in clean, readable formats. It’s a love letter to the public domain—contributing to the preservation of India’s cultural and literary wisdom.

The name “akshara” (ಅಕ್ಷರ) is a Kannada word meaning both “letter” and “eternal”—a fitting metaphor for the timeless nature of written words.

A garden of curiosity. Deep dives into things that fascinate me — the bizarre history of index funds, how ancient libraries organized knowledge, why certain ideas persist for millennia.

dhawani.ink
Personal microblog for thinking out loud. Quick thoughts, observations, voice memos transcribed and published before I can talk myself out of it. Sanskrit for "sound."

The name “dhawani” (ध्वनि) means “sound” or “echo” in Sanskrit—a fitting metaphor for these small reverberations of thought.
