@shreeshrii & @topherseance: there are more than 20 Javanese script fonts available here: https://bennylin.github.io/keyboards/jawa-fonts.html

[Shreeshrii]

@bennylin Are these Unicode fonts?

[bennylin]

Yes

[Shreeshrii]

Are there any labelled datasets with scanned images and their Unicode groundtruth transcription that can be used for training/testing tesseract's jav-java traineddata?

What accuracy did the UKDW ocr achieve?

I'm not in the loop for the research. You might want to contact Dr. Lucia Krisnawati for that.
