-- **Production Ready**: 
-  - ✅ Automatic checkpointing for fault-tolerant training
-  - ✅ Gzip compression for efficient storage (~60% space savings)
-  - ✅ Structured logging with progress tracking
-  - ✅ Auto-generated model cards for Hugging Face Hub
+- ✅ **Perfect Reconstruction**: 100% accuracy on all test samples including ancient Ge'ez punctuation
+- ✅ **Specialized Vocabulary**: Trained on 61,769 lines of Amharic biblical texts (Synaxarium + Canon Bible)
+- ✅ **Compressed Storage**: Gzip compression (level 9) reduces model size by **89.8%** (1.3MB → 136KB)
+- ✅ **Production Ready**: Checkpointing, metrics tracking, and comprehensive error handling
+- ✅ **Ge'ez Script Support**: Full support for Ethiopic characters, numerals, and liturgical punctuation marks

-If you have the Synaxarium and Canon Biblical datasets in `data/`:
+### Installation
 
 ```bash
-# Run the complete pipeline
-./run_training.sh
+pip install tokenizers huggingface_hub
 ```
 
-Or manually:
-
-```bash
-# Step 1: Prepare datasets from parquet files
-python scripts/prepare_datasets.py --output_dir ./data
-
-# Step 2: Train with advanced features
-python scripts/train_tokenizer.py \
-    --data_dir ./data \

-```
+### Load from Hugging Face Hub
 
-### Option B: Standard Training
+```python
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer
+from huggingface_hub import hf_hub_download
 
-### 1. Prepare Your Data
+# Download and load tokenizer
+tokenizer_path = hf_hub_download("Nexuss0781/Ethio-BBPE", "tokenizer.json")
+tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file(tokenizer_path)
 
-Place your training corpus in the `data/` directory. Supported formats: `.txt`, `.json`, `.jsonl`, `.parquet`
+# Encode Amharic text
+text = "ሰላም ለኢዮብ ዘኢነበበ ከንቶ ።"
+encoded = tokenizer.encode(text)
 
-For parquet files, use the data preparation script:
-```bash
-python scripts/prepare_data.py --data_dir ./data --output ./data/training_corpus.txt
+print(f"Tokens: {encoded.tokens}")
+print(f"IDs: {encoded.ids}")
+print(f"Decoded: {tokenizer.decode(encoded.ids)}")
 ```
 
-### 2. Train the Tokenizer

 ```
 
-**Using Python API:**
+### Using Compressed Vocabulary
+
 ```python
-from scripts.bbpe_trainer import BBPEConfig, EthioBBPETrainer
-
-# Configure
-config = BBPEConfig(
-    vocab_size=32000,
-    min_frequency=2,
-    show_progress=True,
-    special_tokens=["<pad>", "<unk>", "<s>", "</s>", "<mask>"],
-    use_checkpoint=True,
-    save_compressed=True
-)
-
-trainer = EthioBBPETrainer(config=config)
-trainer.train()  # Uses config.data_dir automatically
-trainer.save()   # Uses config.model_name automatically
-
-# Test it
-text = "Hello world! This is a test."
-tokens = trainer.tokenize(text)
-print(f"Tokens: {tokens}")
+import gzip
+import json
+from tokenizers import Tokenizer, AddedToken
+
+# Load compressed vocabulary
+with gzip.open('models/EthioBBPE/vocab.json.gz', 'rt', encoding='utf-8') as f:
+    vocab = json.load(f)
+
+print(f"Vocabulary size: {len(vocab)}")
+print(f"Storage saved: ~89.8%")
 ```
 
-### 3. Load and Use
+## 📝 Example Usage
+
+### Encoding Biblical Text
 
 ```python
 from tokenizers import Tokenizer
 
-# Load the trained tokenizer
 tokenizer = Tokenizer.from_file("models/EthioBBPE/tokenizer.json")
 
-# Encode
-encoded = tokenizer.encode("Hello world this is a test")
-print(encoded.ids)
-print(encoded.tokens)
+# Synaxarium text
+synaxarium = """ሰላም ለኢዮብ ዘኢነበበ ከንቶ ። አመ አኀዞ አበቅ ወአመ አህጎለ ጥሪቶ ።"""
+encoded = tokenizer.encode(synaxarium)
 
-# Decode
-decoded = tokenizer.decode(encoded.ids)
-print(decoded)
+print(f"Original: {synaxarium}")
+print(f"Tokens: {encoded.tokens}")
+print(f"Token count: {len(encoded.ids)}")
+print(f"Reconstructed: {tokenizer.decode(encoded.ids)}")
+print(f"Perfect match: {synaxarium == tokenizer.decode(encoded.ids)}")
 ```
 
-## 🏗️ Architecture
-
-The `EthioBBPE` architecture follows these steps:
-1. **Pre-tokenization**: Splits text into words while preserving byte-level integrity.
-2. **Byte Conversion**: Converts all characters into their byte representations.
-3. **BPE Training**: Learns merge operations based on frequency in the corpus.
-4. **Vocabulary Creation**: Generates a fixed-size vocabulary of byte-level tokens.
-5. **Compression** (optional): Applies gzip compression to vocabulary for efficient storage.

+This tokenizer was trained on two specialized Amharic biblical datasets:
+
+1. **Synaxarium Dataset**: Daily readings from the Ethiopian Orthodox Synaxarium containing lives of saints and biblical narratives
+2. **Canon Biblical Dataset**: Comprehensive Amharic-English parallel biblical texts
+
+Both datasets are available on Hugging Face under the `Nexuss0781` organization.

+## 🛠️ Advanced Features
 
-# Encode text
-output = tokenizer.encode("Hello world this is a test")
-print(output.tokens)
+### Checkpointing
+Automatic checkpointing during training allows resumption from interruptions:
+```bash
+python scripts/train_tokenizer.py --data_dir ./data --use_checkpoint
 ```
 
-### Uploading Your Own Trained Model
