Apologies in advance to pick on you gentlmen, but after some web research it was apparent that the Arabic OCR research community was rather small and centered around those included (do please let us know if we missed anyone that we should contact).
Arabeyes, http://www.arabeyes.org http://www.arabeyes.org/about.php a grassroots not-for-profit Open Source volunteer community, is looking into Arabic OCR solutions and we'd be indebted to you if you can help us a bit with the following questions, 1. To your knowledge, are there any Open Source Arabic OCR solutions available ? If so, can you please provide a URL and some contact info ? 2. To your knowledge, are there any resources we could use (papers, books, published algorithms, etc) to implement something on our own ? Any leads would be helpful. 3. To your knowledge, is there a group or an effort that we can get involved with to attain an Open Source Arabic OCR solution (given one doesn't already exists) ? 4. To your knowledge, which of the various Open Source OCR solutions (that do not include Arabic support) is the most advanced and is worth pursuing and augmenting (from the likes of GOCR, ClaraOCR, etc). http://www.linux-ocr.ekitap.gen.tr We thank you profussly in advance for your help. Do please CC the 'developer' list on your replies.
