# Tamily-1: Ancient Tamil OCR Synthetic Dataset

## Description

- **Repository:** [sasicodes/tamily-1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sasicodes/tamily-1)
- **Point of Contact:** [@sasicodes](https://huggingface.co/sasicodes)

### Summary

Tamily-1 is an ancient Tamil OCR synthetic dataset generated from the first 200,000 rows of [Solvari-1](https://huggingface.co/datasets/sasicodes/solvari-1), a large Tamil text corpus. The dataset contains rendered images of Tamil text with various augmentations and styles, making it suitable for training OCR models.

### Fields

- `image`: PNG image of rendered Tamil text
- `text`: Original Tamil text

### Data Splits

The dataset is split into shards of 5,000 samples each, named as `train_shard_XXX`.

#### Annotation process

Each text is rendered with:
- Random paper style (Palm Leaf, Pale Palm Leaf, Red Stone, White Stone, Paper)
- Random background style (No Lines, With Lines, Blurred, With Lines and Noise)
- Random augmentation (Rotation, Perspective, Stain, Ink Bleed)
