*"**Do I need a new model for ottoman, what you think ?"* of course I think It would help you a lot but honestly I really have no clue how to create a trained data for Ottoman or any other language, that's why maybe your best shot is Farsi trained date, unless of course you know how to create Ottoman trained data *"I understand that if any letter that does not have ASCII correspondence can not be recognized and converted to text. Right ? ** if yes can we say that that letters can never be contained in OCR ?"* theoretically yes if I understand this matter correct, why I mentioned the Unicode and ASCII at the first place? because I have faced this issue before and I opened an issue about it, refer to this issue <https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesstrain/issues/128> and you can see how each character has its own corresponding code. that's why I asked you if the Ottoman writing system is recognized by other editors such as MS Office, according to Shree's comment *"If all required Ottoman characters do not have a Unicode codepoint, then you may have to assign some random letter instead"* seems like any Ottoman letter doesn't contain its code wont be recognized, again, I think if you look deeper into Farsi alphabet and compare it with the Ottoman alphabet you might conclude that Farsi should do, since Tesseract doesn't work on meaning only characters, unfortunately I can't help you with this since I only know just little of Farsi, you need someone specialized in Farsi or a native like an Iranian or Azerbaijani. Good thing that Shree is here, this guy is an expert in this matter and helpful as well, specially since were brought the Unicode and ASCII representation and creating trained data to the table he knows these stuff more than me Again, you should pay attention to the quality of the images, some images might not have good results but due to some imperfections in the images itself like old line or dots, so some image enhancements to the image will give better results -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "tesseract-ocr" group.
