The primary idea is to make the text searchable by English words. I guess most Pali words can also be found.
As I see some pali characters were recognized as well. I tried ocr-ing pali earlier but I could not do it in any language, the special charaters were not recognized. What language did you use, how did you manage that some of the characters were recognized?

I used gImageReader, and selected English and "te reo Māori [mri]" as OCR languages, since Maori language also has long vowels. You can as well try Hawaiian, Samoan and Latvian. I wonder if there's also a suitable language with underdots.

You can also use tesseract trained data by Cittaanurakkho:

Dear Khanti,

I have made an updated version, recognizing the Pali text with Cittānurakkho's tesseract trained data, and uploaded it to the website:
