SYSTEM AND A METHOD FOR AUTOMATICALLY DETECTING TEXT TYPE AND TEXT ORIENTATION OF A BIDIRECTIONAL (BIDI) TEXT

摘要

A method for processing a bidirectional text is described. The method includes: dividing the text into a set of words; determining a first parameter representing a number of non-bidirectional words in the text, a second parameter representing a number of bidirectional words in the text, a third parameter representing a number of non-bidirectional words in reverse letter order in the text, and a fourth parameter representing a number of bidirectional words in reverse letter order in the text; and determining a text type attribute and/or a text orientation attribute of the bi-directional text from the values of the first parameter, of the second parameter, of the third parameter and the fourth parameters.
