Abstract

The paper presents a new segmentation-free approach to the Arabic optical character recognition. Extended with a suitable pre-and post-processing the method offers a simple and fast framework to develop a full OCR system. The method was developed primarily for the Naskhi font, it is however robust and flexible and can be easily extended.
