Hello,
We just completed Indic Wikisource consultation 2018, and one of the most
important part of the consultation was the Wikisource tech needs-assessment
We have got a few tools and scripts suggestion which Indic TechCom may work
on.

Meanwhile, please have a look at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Indic-TechCom/Tools/IndicOCR or the tool
link directly https://tools.wmflabs.org/jayprakashbot/
This is a web OCR tool. Currently Google OCR does not support the following
languages and it will help there

1. Malayalam Wikisource
2. Telugu Wikisource
3. Odiaa Wikisource
4. Gujarati Wikisource
5. Kannada Wikisource
6. Punjabi Wikisource

I'll keep the list informed about further development.

Thanks
Tito Dutta

Just a correction, https://tools.wmflabs.org/jayprakashbot/ is my personal
experimental tool. The Correct URL is https://tools.wmflabs.org/indic-ocr/

Thank you :)

Many thanks Jay for your work. Will check out the code.

What is the Google terms and conditions for using their OCR services? A
link to that will also help.
