Abstract
Digital watermarking applies to variety of media including image, video, audio and text. Because of the nature of digital text, its watermarking methods are special. Moreover, these methods basically depend on the script used in the text. This paper reviews application of digital watermarking to Farsi (Persian) and similar scripts (like Arabic, Urdu and Pashto) which are substantially different from English and other western counterparts, especially in using connected alphabets. Focusing on the special characteristics of these scripts, application of common methods used for text watermarking is studied. By comparing the results, suitable methods which results in the highest payload will be presented.
