Abstract: Recognizing words form images is the most atomic aspect of an OCR system. Inspired by the recent success of deep-learning based techniques in computer vision & sequence prediction, an end-to-end trainable CNN-RNN based neural network model for recognizing Telugu words from images is presented. This model can also be extended to other languages.
