Describe the problem

I want to scan identity documents with Arabic and English text, but the result just English text.
Is the SDK support Arabic? any help for that?

Hi @falsharabati,

Sorry for the delay with the answer. Unfortunately, our SDK doesn't support Arabic at the moment. We're classifying this issue as enhancement and will keep this in mind for the future.

Best,
Jurica.

Hi @falsharabati

Following up on this thread.

We've released BlinkID v6, which supports reading and extracting Arabic characters.
You can find more information about the release here.

Feel free to try it out and let us know the results.

Hi @mparadina,

Thank you for your amazing SDK, We are happy if you support Kuwait ID Card Arabic characters as well.

Hi @falsharabati

Thank you for the fast response!

At the moment, we support reading the following documents with the Arabic script:

• Egypt - ID card
• Jordan - ID card
• UAE - ID card
• UAE - Passport
• UAE - Resident ID

I will check internally what the plans are for the Kuwait ID and get back to you here.
In the meantime, please let me know if you have any additional questions.
