PaddleOCR supports two data formats: `LMDB` is used to train public data and evaluation algorithms; `general data` is used to train your own data:

Please organize the dataset as follows:

The default storage path for training data is `PaddleOCR/train_data`, if you already have a dataset on your disk, just create a soft link to the dataset directory:

```
30
ln -sf <path/to/dataset> <path/to/paddle_ocr>/train_data/dataset

* Dataset download

If you do not have a dataset locally, you can download it on the official website [icdar2015](http://rrc.cvc.uab.es/?ch=4&com=downloads). Also refer to [DTRB](https://github.com/clovaai/deep-text-recognition-benchmark#download-lmdb-dataset-for-traininig-and-evaluation-from-here),download the lmdb format dataset required for benchmark

If you want to reproduce the paper indicators of SRN, you need to download offline [augmented data](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1-HSZ-ZVdqBF2HaBZ5pRAKA), extraction code: y3ry. The augmented data is obtained by rotation and perturbation of mjsynth and synthtext. Please unzip the data to {your_path}/PaddleOCR/train_data/data_lmdb_Release/training/path.

* Use your own dataset:

If you want to use your own data for training, please refer to the following to organize your data.

- Training set

First put the training images in the same folder (train_images), and use a txt file (rec_gt_train.txt) to store the image path and label.

* Note: by default, the image path and image label are split with \t, if you use other methods to split, it will cause training error

```
" Image file name           Image annotation "

train_data/train_0001.jpg   简单可依赖
train_data/train_0002.jpg   用科技让复杂的世界更简单
```
PaddleOCR provides label files for training the icdar2015 dataset, which can be downloaded in the following ways:

```
# Training set label
wget -P ./train_data/ic15_data  https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dataset/rec_gt_train.txt
# Test Set Label
wget -P ./train_data/ic15_data  https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/dataset/rec_gt_test.txt
```

The final training set should have the following file structure:

```
|-train_data
    |-ic15_data
        |- rec_gt_train.txt
        |- train
            |- word_001.png
            |- word_002.jpg
            |- word_003.jpg
            | ...
```

- Test set

Similar to the training set, the test set also needs to be provided a folder containing all images (test) and a rec_gt_test.txt. The structure of the test set is as follows:

```
|-train_data
    |-ic15_data
        |- rec_gt_test.txt
        |- test
            |- word_001.jpg
            |- word_002.jpg
            |- word_003.jpg
            | ...

- Dictionary

Finally, a dictionary ({word_dict_name}.txt) needs to be provided so that when the model is trained, all the characters that appear can be mapped to the dictionary index.

Therefore, the dictionary needs to contain all the characters that you want to be recognized correctly. {word_dict_name}.txt needs to be written in the following format and saved in the `utf-8` encoding format:

```
l
d
a
d
r
n
```

In `word_dict.txt`, there is a single word in each line, which maps characters and numeric indexes together, e.g "and" will be mapped to [2 5 1]

`ppocr/utils/ppocr_keys_v1.txt` is a Chinese dictionary with 6623 characters.

`ppocr/utils/dict/korean_dict.txt` is a French dictionary with 3636 characters

`ppocr/utils/dict/german_dict.txt` is a French dictionary with 131 characters

You can use it on demand.

The current multi-language model is still in the demo stage and will continue to optimize the model and add languages. **You are very welcome to provide us with dictionaries and fonts in other languages**,
If you like, you can submit the dictionary file to [dict](../../ppocr/utils/dict) or corpus file to [corpus](../../ppocr/utils/corpus) and we will thank you in the Repo.

PaddleOCR provides training scripts, evaluation scripts, and prediction scripts. In this section, the CRNN recognition model will be used as an example:

First download the pretrain model, you can download the trained model to finetune on the icdar2015 data:

```
cd PaddleOCR/
# Download the pre-trained model of MobileNetV3
wget -P ./pretrain_models/ https://paddleocr.bj.bcebos.com/rec_mv3_none_bilstm_ctc.tar
# Decompress model parameters
cd pretrain_models
tar -xf rec_mv3_none_bilstm_ctc.tar && rm -rf rec_mv3_none_bilstm_ctc.tar
```

Start training:

```
# GPU training Support single card and multi-card training, specify the card number through CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES
export CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0,1,2,3

- Data Augmentation

PaddleOCR provides a variety of data augmentation methods. If you want to add disturbance during training, please set `distort: true` in the configuration file.

The default perturbation methods are: cvtColor, blur, jitter, Gasuss noise, random crop, perspective, color reverse.

Each disturbance method is selected with a 50% probability during the training process. For specific code implementation, please refer to: [img_tools.py](https://github.com/PaddlePaddle/PaddleOCR/blob/develop/ppocr/data/rec/img_tools.py)

PaddleOCR supports alternating training and evaluation. You can modify `eval_batch_step` in `configs/rec/rec_icdar15_train.yml` to set the evaluation frequency. By default, it is evaluated every 500 iter and the best acc model is saved under `output/rec_CRNN/best_accuracy` during the evaluation process.

If the evaluation set is large, the test will be time-consuming. It is recommended to reduce the number of evaluations, or evaluate after training.

* Tip: You can use the `-c` parameter to select multiple model configurations under the `configs/rec/` path for training. The recognition algorithms supported by PaddleOCR are:

The multi-language model training method is the same as the Chinese model. The training data set is 100w synthetic data. A small amount of fonts and test data can be downloaded on [Baidu Netdisk](https://pan.baidu.com/s/1bS_u207Rm7YbY33wOECKDA),Extraction code:frgi.

If you want to finetune on the basis of the existing model effect, please refer to the following instructions to modify the configuration file:

Take `rec_french_lite_train` as an example:

```
Global:
  ...
  # Add a custom dictionary, if you modify the dictionary
  # please point the path to the new dictionary
  character_dict_path: ./ppocr/utils/dict/french_dict.txt
