} This is my class through which i ocr the task and call the method in async task from the main activity. used the trained data provided in your documentation and compiled the dependencies in gradle with command compile 'com.rmtheis:tess-two:6.0.4' so if i do use english the api works well but if i use the arabic trained data the app crashes giving the below error on baseApi.init(DATA_PATH,lang); command 09-17 15:20:02.293 21768-25485/com.example.sigmaway.homeimage A/libc: Fatal signal 6 (SIGABRT), code -6 in tid 25485 (AsyncTask #4) 09-17 15:20:03.802 27329-27329/com.example.sigmaway.homeimage W/art: Before Android 4.1, method android.graphics.PorterDuffColorFilter android.support.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawableCompat.updateTintFilter(android.graphics.PorterDuffColorFilter, android.content.res.ColorStateList, android.graphics.PorterDuff$Mode) would have incorrectly overridden the package-private method in android.graphics.drawable.Drawable

Use Cube: baseApi.init(DATA_PATH, lang, OEM_CUBE_ONLY);

[yatharthgupta112]

shall i use cube traineddata for it then?

[yatharthgupta112]

Btw i tried it on normal ara.traineddata is not working. And i Tried making my own trained data for ara that data is working. i think this trained data has some issue baseApi.init(DATA_PATH,"ara",TessBaseAPI.OEM_CUBE_ONLY);

[rmtheis]

Arabic OCR is working fine for me when I run the test cases with the Cube trained data for Arabic and OEM_CUBE_ONLY.

Please reopen with the minimal code needed to reproduce the issue and the image file or test case you're using.

See also tesseract-ocr/tesseract#428.

[yatharthgupta112]

Sir which one is the cube trained data file for arabic ?

[rmtheis]

@yatharthgupta112 There are several: ara.cube.*

They all need to be stored together in your data directory.

[yatharthgupta112]

@rmtheis the ara.cube* data files worked but ara.traineddata file didn't worked. But the result i am getting after ocr using cube data has only 20% accuracy or may be less. So can you help or suggest me how to improve the arabic ocr result. And thank you so much sir for your help.

Hi, im using tesseract 4.00 and leptonica 1.75.3 i used eng.traindata for some image and it worked very well . now im trying to use the same code for arabic i used ara.traindata but it gives a weird characters. is it due to getUTF8Text(); or that has nothing to do with it

this is the same part of the code for the english one . the only difference is that i change the eng.traindata to ara.triandata. the image is in textImg variable.

ic.SetImage((uchar*)textImg.data, textImg.size().width, textImg.size().height, textImg.channels(), textImg.step1()); result = ic.GetUTF8Text(); ic.Clear();

@AbdelsalamHaa @yatharthgupta112 Did you find the solution for bad accuracy ?

@rmtheis Please help
