Hi, All,

We are researching OCR software for Persian/Pashto. It seems to me that Yale has used Sakhr and Verus for Arabic OCR. Sakhr claimed its OCR software for Persian/Pashto can reach over 99%. If you know someone is using any software for Arabic/Persian/Pashto, please let me know contact. I am reviewing these software and would like to know their accuracy in real-life experience.

Many thanks,
