## IIIT-INDIC-HW-WORDS-Tamil

Dataset containing images of hand written words in Devanagari by various humans and the corresponding text of those images.

## Overview
The dataset, originally developed by the Centre for Visual Information Technology (CVIT) at IIIT Hyderabad, has been transformed into Parquet format to facilitate its use in modern machine learning workflows. This dataset primarily targets recognition of handwritten Tamil words and aims to advance research and development in handwritten text recognition technologies for Indic scripts.
