← Language & CommunicationWhy does optical character recognition (OCR) for handwritten Amharic script achieve lower accuracy compared to printed Latin script?
A)Amharic lacks standardized digital fonts
B)Latin script has fewer strokes per character
C)Amharic uses simpler character segmentation
D)Ge'ez script uses grapheme proliferation✓
💡 Explanation
Ge'ez script relies on grapheme proliferation representing various vowel sounds, because it increases OCR's complexity when classifying handwritten characters due to variability. Therefore, OCR accuracy decreases for Amharic script, rather than other options which do not address script complexity.
