# Persian-OCR
**Persian-OCR** is a deep learning model for **Optical Character Recognition (OCR)**, designed specifically for Persian text.
The model employs a **CNN + Transformer architecture** trained with **CTC loss** to extract text from images.
The model was trained on a custom dataset of approximately **600,000 synthetic Persian text images**.
These images were generated from **Wikipedia text** using **49 different Persian fonts**, with sequence lengths ranging from **0 to 150 characters**.
On this dataset, the model achieves a **sequence accuracy of 96%**.
The model may benefit from **further fine-tuning on real-world data**, and contributions or collaborations are **warmly welcomed**.
## 🤝 Contributing
Contributions are welcome! If you have a dataset of real-world Persian text or improvements to the model, please open an issue or submit a pull request.

## Usage
```

idx_to_char = {int(k): v for k, v in vocab["idx_to_char"].items()}
# 2️⃣ Import model.py

# 3️⃣ Import utils.py

# 5️⃣ Run OCR on an image
