technology being used by the publishing industry, which makes it very bulky to transfer over the
low bandwidth connections and renders it unsearchable. With growing access to internet through

to more effectively use the data channels for the benefit of public in Pakistan. Technologies like
the Urdu Optical character recognition (OCR) are necessary to drive this change.
