Abstract :
This paper describes the Arabic Recognition Competition: Multi-font Multi-size Digitally Represented Text held in the context of the 12th International Conference on Document Analysis and Recognition (ICDAR´2013), during August 25-28, 2013, Washington DC, United States of America. This competition has used the freely available Arabic Printed Text Image (APTI) database. A first edition took place in ICDAR´2011. In this edition, four groups with six systems are participating in the competition. The systems are compared using the recognition rates at character and word levels. The systems were tested in a blind manner using set 6 of APTI database. A short description of the participating groups, their systems, the experimental setup, and the observed results are presented.
