The Challenge: Farsi Text in Images and PDFs

Farsi, written in the Perso-Arabic script, is a beautiful RTL language. However, standard OCR engines fail at extracting Farsi text because:

  • Right-to-left (RTL) text direction
  • Connected letters that change shape based on position
  • Additional letters unique to Farsi (like پ, چ, ژ, گ)
  • Intricate calligraphy and varied fonts
