A comparison between English and Arabic text compression

Abstract

A Comparison between applying two Techniques that compress document data in both languages Arabic and English is introduced. In order to compress the data document, two or more constituent's data documents in both languages are identified. The comparison takes to its consideration, for the first time to the best of our knowledge, the Arabic data compressing. The problem is solved using an efficient language that uses Borland C++ builder to ensure compression for any documents. Our numerical experiments show that Huffman technique can be better used for Arabic Documents. LZW algorithm is better to use for TIFF, GIF and English textual files.
