What changes when it is government & public sector

Pre-processing decides OCR accuracy more than the recognition engine does. Deskew, denoise and contrast correction are where the quality is won.

In government & public sector, procurement, data sovereignty and accessibility obligations shape the architecture before anything else. That single fact reshapes how ocr & handwriting recognition has to be built here, the guardrails, the approval points and the evidence trail are design inputs rather than things bolted on before go-live.

The workload we are most often asked to take on first is records digitisation, usually integrated against DigiLocker and Aadhaar-linked services. Integration comes before intelligence. A model that cannot reach your systems of record is a demo with good manners.

Deployed across regulated and unregulated sectors, with audit trails where the regulator expects them. We hand over with runbooks, tests and a team that knows how it works, not a dependency.

Questions from this sector

Can AI systems be procured under GeM?

Yes, and we structure deliverables to fit standard procurement categories and evaluation criteria.

Does it work in regional languages?

It has to. Public services in India are multilingual by obligation, and we build for that rather than adding translation later.

Does it handle Indian languages?

Yes, Devanagari, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali, Gujarati, Punjabi and Odia among others. Accuracy varies by script and scan quality, and we measure it on your material rather than quoting a brochure figure.

How accurate is handwriting recognition?

Highly variable. Neat, consistent handwriting reads well; mixed or cursive is much harder. We run a sample first and tell you honestly whether it is viable.

Can you process our physical archive?

Yes, working with scanning partners for the physical capture and handling the digitisation and structuring end.
