|
| | ## Description |
| |
|
| | A curated benchmark dataset for evaluating OCR models on Odia (Oriya) text recognition. |
| | Contains handwritten, printed, scene text, newspaper, books, and digital categories, |
| | including both short samples and long-text examples for OCR evaluation. |
| |
|
| | ## Dataset Structure |

| | - **ground_truth**: The correct Odia text transcription |
| | - **category**: Type of text (handwritten, printed, scene_text, newspaper, books, digital) |
| | - **text_length**: short (1-3 words), medium (4-10 words), long (10+ words) |
| | - **source**: Original dataset source or "manual" |
| | |
| | ## Usage |

| | ```python |
| | from datasets import load_dataset |
| | |
| | dataset = load_dataset("Iftesha/odia-ocr-benchmark") |
| | |
| | # Access a sample |
| | sample = dataset["train"][0] |
| | image = sample["image"] |
| | text = sample["ground_truth"] |
| | ``` |
