  Deep learning based methods have achieved surprising progress in Scene Text
Recognition (STR), one of classic problems in computer vision. In this paper,
we propose a feasible framework for multi-lingual arbitrary-shaped STR,
including instance segmentation based text detection and language model based
attention mechanism for text recognition. Our STR algorithm not only recognizes
Latin and Non-Latin characters, but also supports arbitrary-shaped text
recognition. Our method wins the championship on Scene Text Spotting Task
(Latin Only, Latin and Chinese) of ICDAR2019 Robust Reading Challenge on
ArbitraryShaped Text Competition. Code is available at
