🔧 Common Tasks

Train a new model

python train_hybrid_model.py

Test the model

python use_hybrid_model.py demo

Use in your code

from use_hybrid_model import HybridModelInterface

model = HybridModelInterface()
result = model.predict_language("Your text here")
print(result['language'], result['confidence'])

Start web server

python app_hybrid.py
# Visit http://localhost:5000

Check system

python diagnose.py

---

🐛 Troubleshooting

Issue: ModuleNotFoundError?

python diagnose.py  # Check what's missing
pip install -r requirements_hybrid.txt  # Install all

Issue: Training is slow? This is normal! First run downloads models (5-10 min), then trains (20-30 min).

Issue: Can't connect to web interface? Make sure port 5000 is available. Check with: netstat -an | find "5000"

More help? Run python diagnose.py for detailed diagnostics.

💡 Tips for Best Results

1. Training: Let it run uninterrupted (30-60 min)
2. Text length: Provide at least 10-20 characters for best accuracy
3. Mixed scripts: Model works best with single-script text
4. Images: Ensure image quality for OCR
5. Confidence: Use confidence threshold (0.85+) for production
