Arabic Numerals

The Arabic, Persian and Urdu language packs do not recognize Arabic numberals?

This is a known issue with the Tesseract language packs.

The following language pack may help to address this issue with Arabic numberals: https://github.com/Shreeshrii/tessdata_arabic

This can then be used with the IronOCR feature to load custom language packs: https://ironsoftware.com/csharp/ocr/languages/#custom-language-example

using IronOcr; var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
    Ocr.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata");
    using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\image.png"))
    {
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
    }
using IronOcr; var Ocr = new IronTesseract();
    Ocr.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata");
    using (var Input = new OcrInput(@"images\image.png"))
    {
    var Result = Ocr.Read(Input);
    Console.WriteLine(Result.Text);
    }
Imports IronOcr
Private Ocr = New IronTesseract()
	Ocr.UseCustomTesseractLanguageFile("custom_tesseract_files/custom.traineddata")
	Using Input = New OcrInput("images\image.png")
	Dim Result = Ocr.Read(Input)
	Console.WriteLine(Result.Text)
	End Using
