Arabic OCR Expert: Fix Layout & Accuracy Issues in Legal Documents
ocr-algorithms
Preferred qualifications
- Experience: Expert
We run a legal AI platform on Arabic official gazette documents. Our current OCR (Azure) makes systematic errors that we need to fix. Use any approach that works: existing APIs, vision LLMs, a custom-trained model, or a hybrid. We care about results, not method.
Problems to solve (see attached screenshots)
Lines with dotted placeholders ("......") come out in the wrong order (RTL scrambled)
Misread characters (Persian letters instead of Arabic, "«" read as "((")
Missed, reversed, or broken tables
Reversed compound article numbers (e.g. 430-1 vs 1-430)
Deliverable
A working, documented solution (Python preferred) that we can plug into our weekly pipeline and run on our existing archive, with measurable accuracy on a test set.
Requirements
Proven Arabic OCR experience (RTL, tables, mixed Arabic/numerals)
Must read Arabic
Legal/official document experience is a plus
