"""Read printed Abkhaz text lines with the four-alphabet reader. python read_lines.py model line1.png line2.png … each image is ONE printed line; every line is read freely python read_lines.py model --block line1.png line2.png … the images are the lines of ONE text block (a column, a paragraph): the block is read in one alphabet, chosen from what its lines show — the way the Foundation's app reads. A block earns an old alphabet from several of its words, so give it the whole block; a single old-alphabet line is better read freely (without --block) Needs torch, numpy, Pillow and `ocr_nets.py` from this folder. CPU is fine: a line takes milliseconds. The reader was trained on lines cut tightly around the printed text (a few pixels of paper around the letters), grey or colour scans of 25–80 px line height.
