He found that English OCR can scan a 400 pages book within 2 hours. During his stay in USA, it was the scarcity of Bangla books that initiated the dream of developing Bangla OCR. Firstly anyone can scan or take photo of a document and upload it to "Puthi" to a comfortable format that can be editable. The Bangla OCR Puthi turns an image to editable and searchable. They are the dream catchers, we started from where they had stopped and developed it" Pranto told The Daily Observer. I also like to mention the name of Proffessor Muhammad Jafar Iqbal in this part. "Biyoy software innovator Mustafa Jabbar is the pioneer of Bangla OCR. Pranto and his team do not think themselves as the first initiators of Bangla OCR. Puthi is the First Bangla OCR with features of reading variables with accuracy. The Bangla OCR - Puthi can read the Bangla characters (letters) and convert them to text or speech. OCR is the latest technology developed that can convert the pixel to text. The application helps to convert characters from an image to text. Later, Emanuel Goldberg developed what he called a "Statistical Machine" using an optical code recognition system. Scientists like Emanuel Goldberg and Edmund Fournier d'Albe had developed character readable converters and handheld scanners like 'Optophone' that produced tones corresponding to specific letters for the blind. The development of optical character recognition could be traced to activity around two issues: expanding telegraphy and creating reading devices for the blind. It is a dream project of Pranto which is made possible as a result of a decade long research and collaborative effort of his company named Team Engine.
Again a young Bangladeshi entrepreneur proved that anything is possible if the determination is strong and the intention is honest.Ī USA returned IT professional Hasnat Shahrear Pranto has developed the first ever Bangla Optical Character Reader (OCR) software named 'Puthi'.
