A CRNN model for Persian OCR. This model is based on a simple CNN + LSTM architecture inspired by [this paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/1507.05717). 

This is a successor model to our previous model [hezarai/crnn-base-fa-64x256](https://huggingface.co/hezarai/crnn-base-fa-64x256). 
The improvements include:
- 5X larger dataset
- Change input image size from 64x256 to 32x384
- Increase max output length from 64 to 96 (Max length of the samples in the dataset was 48 to handle CTC loss issues)
- Support numbers and special characters (see id2label in `model_config.yaml`)
- Auto-handling of LTR characters like digits in between the text

Note that this model is only optimized for printed/scanned documents and works best on texts with a length of up to 50-ish characters. (For an end-to-end OCR pipeline, use a text detector model first to 
extract text boxes preferrably in word-level and then use this model), but it can be used to be fine-tuned on other domains like license plate or handwritten texts.
