A classified bibliography and a lexicographically-indexed table of 260 items of literature pertaining to the optical recognition of Arabic texts, including Hindi numerals' recognition, are provided. The lim number items cited in this bibliography highlights two points. First, the difficulties facing researchers in collecting dispersed references pertinent to this research area, which was in the first place a major incentive to working on this paper. Second, the limited efforts and resources expended in promoting this branch of research, evident from comparing the volumes of reported OCR research works and products on Latin and other languages with those on Arabic. A keyword-based classification scheme whose results may help in locating papers of interest in a certain research subtopic is implemented. An appendix provides a classified table highlighting the features of each of the included literature items, offering a glimpse of an overall picture.
