Abstract:
The goal of this work is to develop an Open Agent Architecture for Multilingual information
retrieval from Relational Database. The query for information retrieval can be given in plain
Hindi or Malayalam; two prominent regional languages of India. The system supports
distributed processing of user requests through collaborating agents. Natural language
processing techniques are used for meaning extraction from the plain query and information
is given back to the user in his/ her native language. The system architecture is designed
in a structured way so that it can be adapted to other regional languages of India.

Abstract:
In order to bridge the digital divide between the sightless and sighted and to encourage
literacy in them, we have designed an architecture for transcribing Braille from optically recognized Indian language. The system will help to convert masses of information in
different Indian languages into a tactile reading form. The system mainly consists of OCR
modules designed in an efficient manner to promote portability and scalability. In first
section, we have introduced the importance and necessity of the work with successive
sections clarifying briefly the properties of Braille and Indian scripts. We have also described
the OCR work done with respect to Indian languages and the related work to our system.
Finally, the System architecture is explained clearly followed by some conclusion and
future work. The paper also identifies the needs to be fulfilled to percolate the benefit of the
technology developed to the masses.
