arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Aug 28, 2026 · UTC

Optical character recognition (OCR) for handwritten Indic manuscripts is essential for large-scale digitization and computational access to manuscript heritage. However, existing approaches are typically developed for one script at a time and require substantial script-specific customization. This limits scalability and practical deployment across diverse collections. We present UniLipi, a unified multi-script OCR model for handwritten Indic manuscripts trained jointly across 13 Indic scripts within a single framework. UniLipi directly handles realistic manuscript conditions, including extreme
