A Text Recognition (TR) and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) dataset for the Tigrinya language. The dataset contains a total of 710k image-label pairs from multiple data sources. In addition to the characters-only data, the major part of the dataset is a collection of multi-word text images with labels from three categories: News (from Haddas Ertra newspaper), the Bible, and random-trigrams of the 150k most common words in Tigrinya.
