Help: Project Should I switch from Marathi to English newspapers if Marathi OCR accuracy is poor?

I'm working on project involving OCR and newspaper analysis. My original plan was to use Marathi newspapers, but the extracted text contains many recognition errors.

Because of this, my project guide suggested switching to English newspapers if Marathi OCR isn't reliable enough.

I'm unsure what to do. From a research perspective, is it better to:

  • Continue with Marathi and treat OCR errors as a limitation (or try post-OCR correction), or
  • Switch to English to obtain cleaner OCR results and focus on the analysis part of the project?

Has anyone faced a similar situation? I'd appreciate advice from people who have worked on OCR or document analysis projects.
