The aim of this repository is creating an OCR model (convert image to text) for Old Persian Cuneiform
This repository is inspired from eBL project and is a part of Electronic Old Persian Library organization.
eBL has developed models for Babylonian cuneiform but I am going to develop my models for Old Persian cuneiform.

is completed but needs more optimization and real data.
Melanee: Since I was looking for an OCR model for Old Persian language, I have not implemented image pre-processing for my models yet and they work on just black and white images. You can use custom images to use my OCR models.
This model is still under developing and is based on EasyOCR repository for a custum model. If you see any error please check issues
Trainer notebook:
Using saved model:
To use saved model please create the root
of your machine like below structure and replace custum_example.pth
, custom_example.py
and custom_example.yaml
files there. For more comprehension please watch this tutorial on youtube.
/root/
/EasyOCR/
/model/
custum_example.pth
/user_network/
custom_example.py
custom_example.yaml
Please replace myLang.traineddata
file in this directory: /usr/share/tesseract-ocr/4.00/tessdata
This tesseract pre-trained OCR model deciphers Old Persian cuneiform to English transcription and is developed by S. Muhammad Hossein Mousavi. Tesseract is one of the most powerful OCR models in the world.
An example:
The last 12 lines of the great Darius's inscription in Persepolis, DPd inscription:

Output:

At the next step, you can translate that Old Persian transcription to modern Persian by Chat-GPT:
این منم داریوش شاهنشاه؛ به لطف اهورامزدا، من این را بنا کردم؛ من این امپراتوری را بنیان نهادم و آن را نیرومند ساختم. باشد که اهورامزدا من و پادشاهی مرا محافظت کند؛ باشد که برای همیشه پایدار بماند؛ و باشد که از دروغ در امان باشد؛ این است آنچه من انجام دادم؛
این است آنچه من میگویم.
