🌍 Tiny Multilingual CAPTCHA Library

Repository: remiai3/tiny-captcha-library
A multilingual dataset of synthetic 4-character CAPTCHA images designed for OCR, multilingual vision models, and script recognition research. This dataset spans 41 world writing systems and is especially useful for low-resource script OCR training.

πŸ“Œ Dataset Summary

Each script includes 10,000 unique CAPTCHA images.
The dataset is provided in two parallel formats:

  • CSV version (standard ML workflows)
  • Parquet version (faster loading for large-scale pipelines)

⚠️ The images inside both folders are identical β€” only the label file format differs. So per language:

  • 10,000 unique images
  • 10,000 duplicate copies (same images, different label format)

Folder Details

Folder Contains Purpose
4char/ Images + labels.csv Standard format
4char_parquet/ Same images + labels.parquet Efficient ML pipelines
Each language folder includes:
  • images.zip β†’ CAPTCHA images
  • Label file mapping image filename β†’ correct 4-character text

🌐 Supported Scripts

Amharic, Armenian, Cherokee, Chinese, Georgian, Hanunoo, Japanese, Kaithi, Khmer, Lao, Lisu, Miao, Modi, Myanmar, Osage, Sharada, Siddham, Soyombo, Tai Tham, Tai Viet, Takri, Thaana, Tirhuta
