How it works

This app uses a mapping of Preeti font characters to their Unicode equivalents. When text is input or a PDF is uploaded, the app processes the content, replacing Preeti characters with their Unicode counterparts.

Understanding the Challenge:

Character Overlap: Preeti font uses ASCII characters to represent Nepali letters. This means both English and Nepali texts are encoded using the same characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9, and symbols).

Difficulty in Differentiation: It's challenging to distinguish between English and Nepali words automatically since they share the same character set in Preeti encoding.
