I am trying to fine-tune TrOCR on Arabic, I followed [TrOCR Fine-Tune Tutorials by @NielsRogge](https://github.com/NielsRogge/Transformers-Tutorials/blob/master/TrOCR/Fine_tune_TrOCR_on_IAM_Handwriting_Database_using_Seq2SeqTrainer.ipynb), choose a suitable encoder/decoder option suggested by @NielsRogge on discussion board but I get very high WER score and the generated text is gibberish, I tried the pytorch implementation and it generated text prediction to continue the sentence instead of writing the sentence in the image.
