# Myanmar OCR Dataset |
|
|
|
|
|
A synthetic dataset for training and fine-tuning Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models specifically for the Myanmar language. |
|
|
|
|
|
## Dataset Description |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset contains synthetically generated OCR images created specifically for Myanmar text recognition tasks. The images were generated using [myanmar-ocr-data-generator](https://github.com/chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-ocr-data-generator), a fork of [TextRecognitionDataGenerator](https://github.com/Belval/TextRecognitionDataGenerator) with fixes for proper Myanmar character splitting. |

## Direct Download |
|
|
|
|
|
Available from [UT Austin SharePoint](https://utexas-my.sharepoint.com/:u:/g/personal/cn23349_my_utexas_edu/EZcWC2NEbKNMkeJ_WByugx0BMTSE6qKYQjVp62fn6m0toA?e=L9AKko) |
|
|

|
|
- Includes organized folder structure optimized for PaddleOCR training |
|
|
- Labels are provided in tab-separated format |
|
|
- Ready to fine-tuned for PaddleOCR |
|
|
|
|
|
### Key Features |
|
|
|
|
|
- Synthetic Myanmar text images with corresponding text labels |
|
|
- Maximum text length of 100 characters per image |
|
|
- Various fonts, styles, skews, various distortion types, blur levels, and backgrounds to improve model robustness |
|
|
|
|
|
## Generation Method |
|
|
|
|
|
The dataset was created using a forked and customized version of the TextRecognitionDataGenerator: |
|
|
- Original repository: [Belval/TextRecognitionDataGenerator](https://github.com/Belval/TextRecognitionDataGenerator) |
|
|
- Customized fork: [chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-ocr-data-generator](https://github.com/chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-ocr-data-generator) |
|
|
|
|
|
### Text Sources |
|
|
|
|
|
The text content used to generate the OCR images was extracted from: |
|
|
- [chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-wikipedia-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-wikipedia-dataset): A collection of Myanmar language text from Wikipedia |
|
|
- [chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-facebook-flores-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-facebook-flores-dataset): A subset of [Meta's FLORES dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/facebook/flores) containing only Myanmar language text |
|
|
- [chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-instruction-tuning-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuuhtetnaing/myanmar-instruction-tuning-dataset): Compilation of question-answer pairs in the Myanmar language |
|
|
- [chuuhtetnaing/mm-lib-book-dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/chuuhtetnaing/mm-lib-book-dataset): A dataset of 437 books extracted from MM-Lib (Only 421 unicode font books are used for OCR dataset) |
|
|
|
|
|
## Usage |
|
|
|
|
|
This dataset is particularly useful for: |
|
|
|
|
|
- Training OCR models for Myanmar language text recognition |
|
|
- Fine-tuning existing OCR models to improve performance on Myanmar script |
|
|
- Developing applications for Myanmar text digitization |
