Scanned books and records become searchable text that keeps its headings and tables.
Arabic-first by design. Built for the language, not translated into it.
Most OCR returns a flat run of characters, so the tables, headings and columns of an Arabic page are lost before anyone can use the text.
Table structure comes back as HTML inside the Markdown. On Misraj-DocOCR, Baseer scores 66 on TEDS, the table-structure metric, the highest of the systems compared in the paper.
Word error rate on Misraj-DocOCR
Headings, lists and multi-column pages come back in the order a person reads them, not as one flattened block.
TEDS table-structure score on Misraj-DocOCR
Cursive letterforms, diacritics, varied fonts and right-to-left layout: the cases where general OCR tools lose accuracy on Arabic.
Both figures come from the Baseer paper (arXiv:2509.18174) and were measured on Misraj-DocOCR, a public benchmark of 400 expert-verified Arabic document images. Both are the best of the systems the paper compares; the nearest, Gemini 2.5 Pro, scores 0.37 and 52. The model in the paper is fine-tuned from Qwen2.5-VL-3B-Instruct. On the smaller corrected KITAB-Bench PDF-to-Markdown set, Baseer also leads on TEDS and MARS, while Dots.ocr and Nanonets post lower word error rates, and we would rather say so than leave it out.
Baseer OCR gives every team the same answer from the same source, from the people who run it to the people who sign off on it.
Scanned books and records become searchable text that keeps its headings and tables.
Books, magazines and course material become Markdown that can be edited, republished or reused.
Arabic PDFs reach retrieval pipelines and training sets as structured text rather than broken strings.

“OCR that returns a string of characters has done half the job. Baseer OCR reads the page the way a person does and keeps what the layout says: which line is a heading, which cells belong to which row, and where one column ends and the next begins.”
