Arabic OCR
Need to recognize Arabic text from scanned images.

We already considered this request. We will update you once the team prioritise it and implement it.
Thanks.

ليست لانه لا يوجد مستعملين كثر للبهلوان انما هي نوع من الاحتقار المتعمد للغة اللتي بنو عليها فخرهم. الحل ان يكون احد هذا الملحق و يضعه لمستعملي البرنامج. انا لا احسن البرمجة لذا هذا نداء اما ان يكون برنامج كامل يغنينا عن التسول او ملحق حر للمستعمل .
و الشكر المسبق للمبرمج -

I know of many universities (and work at one) in the Middle East that are using your service using the full professional version. Yet you still do not have Arabic OCR capacity. Also missing are Devanagari scripts (South Asian languages). This is a large oversight and I see communication regarding this problem going back many years so you must be aware. With the advance in AI technology and translation software you could help open up many texts to scholars with mid-level proficiency. Indeed, the AI capacity exists now to help with this process. For example, I notice with many OCR systems there is a problem distinguishing medial ف and غ and this is something with which an AI system could help. So, this is the perfect opportunity to fill this gap. I suggest you partner with large universities in the Middle East and South Asia that have existing good computer science PhD programs to work on this (some good dissertations on applying AI to OCR might result too!) unless you are already close to a solution. If you are close, I think an estimated time frame conveyed to this community would be appreciated. Thank you.

Adding the OCR for Arabic script won't just benefit digitizing Arabic language texts, but text from multiple other languages, including Persian. We are in 2023, and so many advances have happened to AI, it is so weird that you have not added Arabic OCR till now. Facebook and Tiktok have now added text to speech for Arabic, it supposedly was impossible, but they did it, and it makes life so much easier. Adobe do something!

Adobe Team, please let us know whether the OCR for Arabic content will be released any time soon. I have two large Acrobat sales deals in the Middle East and Nort Africa that have been placed on hold due to the fact that Acrobat cannot OCR Arabic content.
Common team, we're all missing opportunities! -

Since no action from Adobe regarding our request except their reply in 2018 I suggest having a campaign on social media to start to boycott Adobe products in Arabic-Speaking countries.

@Amr Al-Halaby, totally agree with you.
Did you know "Sakhr Computer Co" in Kuwait had an Arabic OCR for decades, it is just we wish to see Adobe Acrobat supports Arabic OCR just like other languages.

It has nothing to do with Arabs begging anyone. It is purely pragmatic; you add a certain feature for my specific language, I buy and recommend your product to my network. You otherwise don't add the feature, I'll just not want to buy it, especially when such feature is so valuable to me.
The prevalence of cracked and pirated versions says a a lot for that matter.
It is just as simple as that. So please stop whining and keep your nerves for a better cause.
Have a nice day!

Why Arabs can't make a company of acrobat to themselves ?
Why do we Arabs always submissively beg the west ?
