I have MFP 135w  connected to laptop (windows 10 64 bit) when i try to use scanner function to save the scanned paper as text (. Txt or.doc), when i search for the language on Hp MFP Scan app  i cant find arabic language.

So i cant extract text in arabic. (tried English text papers and worked fine). Is there an update  that support arabic or the MFP  hp 135w hardware it self cant support ocr  for arabic text.

@Mohamed_Elkotpy, Welcome to the HP Support Community!  

Thanks for reaching out about your query regarding Using HP MFP SCAN on laptop and can't find Arabic language! 

We're thrilled to have the opportunity to assist you and provide a solution.  

Currently, the HP MFP 135w's built-in OCR capabilities within the HP MFP Scan software have limited language support, and unfortunately, Arabic is not included. This is a software limitation rather than a hardware restriction.

Here are a few possible solutions:

Check for Updates – While Arabic OCR isn’t currently supported, it’s always good to ensure you’re running the latest version of the HP Scan software. You can download updates from HP official support page.

Google Drive OCR (upload your scanned PDF to Google Drive, then open it as a Google Doc to extract text)

HP Smart App (Limited OCR Features) – If you haven’t already, try using the HP Smart app instead of HP MFP Scan. It might offer better OCR support, but Arabic support is still not guaranteed.  

Take care, and have an amazing day!
