Santali OCR Tutorial: Convert Ol Chiki Images into Editable Text

-
Have you ever wanted to copy text from a scanned Santali book, an old magazine, or a photograph of an Ol Chiki document? Santali OCR can help you convert printed text into editable digital text without typing every character manually. This beginner-friendly guide explains what OCR is, why Santali needs better OCR tools, and how to use it on Windows, Android, and Linux. 1. What is Santali OCR? OCR stands for Optical Character Recognition . It is a technology that reads text from images, photographs, scanned books, and image-based PDFs and converts it into digital text that you can copy, edit, search, and reuse. For Santali, OCR is especially important for recognizing text written in Ol Chiki (ᱚᱞ ᱪᱤᱠᱤ) . For example, a printed page containing Santali sentences can be scanned and converted into Unicode text that you can edit in LibreOffice Writer, Microsoft Word, or a website. 2. Why Does Santali Need OCR? Many valuable Santali books, historical records, poems, stories, ma...

Change interface language of MX player to Santali language

-
Image
MX Player began its journey primarily as a robust offline video playback application for Android, celebrated for its extensive format support and smooth hardware acceleration . Over time, it evolved significantly, integrating a popular over-the-top (OTT) streaming platform featuring movies, web series, and original shows. The extensive language options you enjoy within the app, including Santali , are made possible through Crowdin , a cloud-based localization management platform. Crowdin acts as the central hub where developers open up their applications to the global community, allowing public volunteers to translate text strings into their native languages. Because it is an open crowdsourcing initiative, anyone can translate apps on Crowdin . The platform relies on collective accuracy; if you notice a translation error, typo, or contextual mistake while browsing MX Player, you can directly log onto Crowdin, find the project repository, and submit a correction. Beyond MX Player, an e...

Ol Chiki Fonts for Santali: The Complete List, with Developers and Download Links

-
A reference list of Ol Chiki (ᱚᱞ ᱪᱤᱠᱤ) typefaces for the Santali language, with the designer or developer behind each one, the year, Unicode status, licence where it is documented, and where to download it. Ol Chiki was created by Pandit Raghunath Murmu in 1925 and entered Unicode in version 5.1 in April 2008, in the block U+1C50 to U+1C7F. Every font made before 2008 maps Ol Chiki glyphs onto Latin keys, which means text typed in those fonts is unreadable on a device without the same font installed. This list separates the two kinds, because that distinction decides whether a document survives being sent to someone else. Where a designer, licence or version number is not published anywhere, the entry says so rather than guessing. Which font to install For reading and typing on any device: Noto Sans Ol Chiki. It is already inside Android, available on Google Fonts, and packaged for Linux. For documents that need bold, italic and a matching Latin: Guru Gomke. Three styles,...

Santali Emoji List: 317 Emoji You Can Now Type in Ol Chiki (ᱥᱟᱱᱛᱟᱲᱤ ᱮᱢᱳᱡᱤ)

-
Type ᱩᱞ on a Santali keyboard and a mango 🥭 appears in the suggestion bar. That is not a trick, and it is not a translation app. The word is in the emoji data itself. Unicode's Common Locale Data Repository (CLDR) now carries Santali names and keywords for a large part of the emoji set, and the keyboards people already use read that data when they suggest an emoji for the word you are typing. This page lists every emoji in the CLDR 49 Santali summary that has a Santali name — 317 of them — with the Ol Chiki name and a plain English explanation of what each one means. The source is the official Unicode CLDR chart for Santali: unicode.org/cldr/charts/49/summary/sat.html . Most Santali speakers have never seen an emoji named in their own language. Until now the only way to send a mango was to search in English, or to scroll through hundreds of pictures. With Santali keyword data in the keyboard, the language you already type becomes the search box. What does “an e...
