| # Odia OCR Synthetic Dataset |
|
|
| ## Dataset Summary |
|
|
| The **Odia OCR Synthetic Dataset** is a curated collection of **synthetically generated Odia text images**, created specifically for **OCR training**, and paired with accurate **Odia Unicode transcriptions**. |
|
|
| This dataset is designed to support: |
| - Training and fine-tuning **Odia OCR models** |
| - Vision-language model (VLM)–based OCR training |
| - Data augmentation for low-resource Odia script recognition |
| - Improving robustness across fonts, layouts, and visual variations |
|
|
| The synthetic nature of the dataset allows controlled variation in font styles, spacing, backgrounds, and noise patterns, helping OCR models generalize better to real-world scanned and photographed documents. |

| ## Dataset Structure |
|
|
| ### Features |
|
|
| Each sample in the dataset contains the following fields: |
|
|
| - **`image`** (`image`) |
| A synthetically generated image containing Odia text, rendered with diverse fonts, sizes, spacing, and background variations. |
|
|
| - **`extracted_text`** (`string`) |
| The ground-truth Odia Unicode transcription corresponding to the text rendered in the image. |
