All papers relevant to the Southeast Asian linguistics and computing community are welcome. Authors seeking opinions or constructive criticism are encouraged to submit papers-in-progress, and requests along the lines of:
To submit papers, please contact doug@nwg.nectec.or.th When you save your paper, be sure to use a plain, vanilla, PostScript driver -- install the plain 'PostScript Printer' driver if you're using Windows. Also, make sure that all non-standard fonts are embedded as part of the paper. It is wise to assume paper no larger than 8"X11". Please include a plain text file that describes your paper as below. The ABSTRACT entry, below, may be a plain text file (*.txt), or -- to allow foreign characters and illustrations -- a PostScript (*.ps) or GIF (*.gif) file. To make a gif, I recommend displaying the abstract in your favorite wsywyg word processor, then using a screen capture utility (the one in PaintShop Pro works great) to grab it. Your milage may vary, but in Microsoft Word, a 5 inch text line displayed at 100% is 600 pixels wide, which is ideal. Reduce to 2 colors, and save as a non-interlaced gif. See the how? page for more details. THAIOCR.ZIP TITLE -- Fuzzy Letters and Thai Optical Character Recognition FORMAT -- 239K, 12 pages, zipped postscript.
