Need for Sanskrit volunteer

*Call for (Paid) Volunteering for speedy digitization of Sanskrit literature (please circulate in your circles)*
Prof. Ganesh Ramakrishnan (Dept of CSE, IIT Bombay) and Prof. Ramasubramanian (Dept of Humanities and Social Sciences, IIT Bombay) are attempting to significantly speed up the process of digitization of Sanskrit texts. Enabled by the OCR and post-editing related technologies developed at IIT Bombay (see https://www.cse.iitb.ac.in/~ganesh/videosurvellianceanalytics/#document-analytics), they are now seeking participation of the community of Sanskrit lovers, those with even basic knowledge of Sanskrit and wanting to volunteer for Sanskrit (with some nominal financial compensation for the time spent).

If you have (atleast basic) knowledge in Sanskrit and can spare around 4-5 hours daily on a regular basis for next 6 months, you can 
1) send your resume to ocr@cse.iitb.ac.in with a note mentioning your interest and knowledge in Sanskrit. 
*OR*

Please note: IIT Bombay has also honoured the related work on "Adaptive framework for end-to-end corrections in Indic OCR". Please see: http://www.ircc.iitb.ac.in/IRCC-Webpage/rnd/ResearchAwardsDetails.jsp?AwardType=NationalInstituteIITB&AwardName=IITBombayIndustrialImpactAward"
