Vietnamese Legal Document OCR Dataset

Dataset Description

This dataset contains synthetic images of Vietnamese legal document text, generated for training OCR models.

Dataset Summary

  • Language: Vietnamese
  • Task: Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
  • Domain: Legal Documents
  • Total Images: 9,579
  • Image Generation: TRDG (TextRecognitionDataGenerator)

Fonts Used

  • Noto Serif - Professional serif font for formal documents
  • Noto Sans - Modern sans-serif font
  • Roboto - Popular sans-serif font
  • Roboto Mono - Monospace font for structured data

Data Format

Each image is paired with its corresponding text label:

  • Images: PNG format
  • Labels: JSON and TXT formats
    • labels.json: Dictionary mapping image names to text
    • labels.txt: Tab-separated file (image_name\ttext)

Usage 

from datasets import load_dataset

dataset = load_dataset("YOUR_USERNAME/vietnamese-legal-ocr")

# Access images and labels
for item in dataset['train']:
    image = item['image']
    text = item['text']
    print(f"Text: {text}")

Source Data

Text sourced from Vietnamese legal documents including:

  • Laws (Luật)
  • Decrees (Nghị định)
  • Circulars (Thông tư)
  • Decisions (Quyết định)
  • Official Gazettes (Công báo)

Data Augmentation

Images include realistic variations:

  • Multiple font styles and weights
  • Natural skewing and distortion
  • Background variations
  • Blur effects
