Abstract

Performance evaluation of Optical Character Recognition (OCR) systems is an essential task for OCR systems development. However, studies in Arabic OCR suffer from the lack of proper performance evaluation metrics and the availability of evaluation tools. Although the literature provides typical performance metrics, such as character accuracy and word accuracy for OCR performance evaluation, these metrics are not sufficient for evaluating Arabic OCR. This paper presents an open source automated software tool with various metrics for the evaluation of Arabic OCR performance. The developed tool is available for OCR researchers, thus it can be applied for ranking different OCR algorithms.
