michaelI have a lovely #oud which I am planning to play more often from now on. Made in #Syria around 2000, I was told. Could any #Arabic speaker tell me what the writing on the label says?
Solar🌄Garden@proseandpassion I just tried this -- uploaded the image, it busied itself -- then nothing. Maybe it doesn't like my setup here -- have a go yourself? https://convertio.co/ocr/arabic/
@wavesculptor My guess would be that the calligraphy includes decorative elements that may make it difficult for machine translators ...
@wavesculptor a translator has now been found - see the translated label in my blog entry about the instrument: https://proseandpassion.blogspot.com/2025/11/an-oud-from-syria.html
