ARABIC Language support to OCR Tesseract plugin.

[britnis]

Hello Loic,

We are in the event of evaluating the Gd Picture Pro OCR tesseract plugin. We have performed evaluation on recognizing images and documents in English. We are very much pleased with the engines performance.

But our business requirement is that, support to Arabic language is mandatory as we focus on the Middle-East for future projects. Can you please inform me, if Arabic language support is available for OCR recognition using Gd Picture Pro OCR tesseract plugin.

If support to Arabic is not available, can you please suggest me with a work around to this.

Regards,
Nirmal Lawrence

Thanks for your reply. My problem is when I use arabic traineddata in my c# coding I get
an error which says " An unhandled Exception of type 'System.AccessViolationException' Occured in GdPicture.NET.dll".

I use the below code to create searchable pdf using gdpicture method

oGdPictureImaging.PdfOCRCreateFromMultipageTIFF(MultiPageID, "ara", GlobalVaribles.gGDPOCRPath, "", gpath.ToUpper().Replace(".TIF", ".PDF"), false, "a", "b", "c", "d", "e");

The same coding works fine for other languages. kindly guide me to come out from this issue.

Hello,
I'm trying to use Arabic OCR on some images but the results of OCR are always blank text. What i'm doing wrong?

I'm using the sample project of vb.net to OCR extraction and i put "ara" on the language textbox. I have the OCR language pack downloaded from https://www.gdpicture.com/download/ocr_language_pack.zip.

thanks in advance
