Text recognition that works — German, English, Arabic.

Harf is TEKANIA's proprietary OCR engine. It reliably reads German, English, and Arabic — including the cases where standard OCR tools fail with Arabic typography. Available now.

The Problem

Why standard OCR fails — especially with Arabic

Most OCR tools were built for Latin script and break down on Arabic: connected letters, right-to-left direction, and small dots and marks that change meaning. Even on German and English, accuracy drops sharply on real-world documents — scans, mixed fonts, low contrast. Harf was built to handle all three languages reliably under those conditions.

Our Solution

What makes Harf different

Three scripts, one engine

Harf reads German, English, and Arabic in the same document without language switching. Built ground-up so the hardest of the three — Arabic — works as reliably as Latin script.

Process complex documents

Harf recognizes text in difficult documents: contracts, invoices, government forms, scanned letters, and mixed-language correspondence.

Transformer architecture, fast on CPUs

Harf uses the Transformer architecture introduced by Vaswani et al. (2017) and is optimized for fast CPU inference. The proprietary OCR engine therefore runs efficiently without requiring a GPU.
