English Scenes Text Dataset
Home » Case Study » English Scenes Text Dataset
Project Overview:
Objective
To develop a dataset encompassing images with English text captured from various scenes. The primary intent is to train and improve Optical Character Recognition (OCR) models, AI-based translation tools, and accessibility software.
Scope
Compile images featuring English text from diverse settings, such as street signs, storefronts, product labels, book covers, and digital screens. Annotations will pinpoint the text and provide accompanying transcriptions.

Quality Assurance
Stages
Automated OCR Verification:Â Early-stage OCR models validate the segmented text and transcriptions for consistency.
Peer Review:Â Annotations undergo a second pass by an alternate group of annotators.
Inter-annotator Agreement:Â A selection of images is examined by multiple annotators to ensure high consistency.
QA Metrics
- Annotations Validated using OCR: 225,000 (50% of total images)
- Peer Reviewed Annotations: 135,000 (30% of total images)
- Inconsistencies Identified and Rectified: 9,000 (2% of total images)
Conclusion
The English Scenes Text Dataset serves as a robust foundation for the development and refinement of OCR models and other text-recognition software. By representing a wide range of real-world scenes, the dataset ensures that these models can accurately detect and interpret English text in various contexts. This dataset is pivotal for innovations in language translation, augmented reality, and assistive technologies.
