Hi all, there is no publicly available OCR for Warang Citi, the script used for the Ho language. Ganesh Birua, a native speaker and activist, and I discussed this issue, and he affirmed that there is a real community need for OCR. I used the Ol Chiki base model since both Ol Chiki and Warang Citi are alphabetic, and are also related for being used for two Munda family languages, Santali and Ho, respectively. I used public, open-licensed content (by @Singitur, and from the Ho Wikipedia Incubator) for training. The fonts used are Noto Sans Warang Citi and Boyo Gagrai—both fonts created by @Singitur.
