Hi Ibrahim,
That is is what I understood, but I would like to know if the same issue occurs
with a PDF file, hence my requests that we both test with the same PDF file.
Even more so as I do not have a scanner at hand right now to reproduce the test
you did.
Cheers,
Didier

Hi Didier,
I did not do the testing on a PDF file. I did the testing in direct scan. I put the page on a flatbed scanner and hit the scan and recognize menu item in Lios.

Hi Ibrahim,
Not sure where the issue is.
To investigate, could you please send provide a link to a pdf in Arabic (or send
me privately the pdf itself) that we could both try?
Thanks
Cheers,
Didier

Thanks Didier,
Unfortunately, I tried your suggestion and still got zero accuracy of OCR of
Arabic letters. I typed a Paragraph of Arabic and printed and then scanned, but
the outcome was gibbirish, all in latin characters. I typed a paragraph in
English and printed it out, when I scanned, the OCR accuracy was excellent. So,
ther is some problem with the Arabic recognition. It seems to me that although
Arabic is listed, the OCR engine is not actually trying to recognize Arabic.

Ibrahim

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

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? I assume I will also be able to run Arabic.pdf files through Lios
and as such I will have access to a lot of Arabic books available on the net.
Cheers,
Ibrahim
