Hi Ibrahim, You do not need to add anything special, the files /usr/share/tessdata/Arabic.traineddata being included in the package tesseract-data in Slint. Juts open lios, then in menu select Preferences then Preferences recognition and select: Engine: Tesseract Language: Arabic I don't have a scanner at hand but downloaded this file: https://fada.birzeit.edu/bitstream/20.500.11889/6910/1/mkhaldi%20Sahar%20Research.pdf then I opened it in Lios (menu File then Open). The file was recognized and the text properly extracted. Copying a paragraph of the extracted text and pasting it in translate.google.fr allowed me to read it in French <smile> Cheers, Didier Le 18/12/2021 à 00:10, Linux for blind general discussion a écrit : > Hi All, > > This question is primarily to Didier: > > How can I add Arabic dictionary to Lios so that I can use my scanner to scan > Arabic text?
