The IRIS OCR data file is a proprietary format developed by I.R.I.S. for use within its optical character recognition software ecosystem. It functions as a storage medium for character recognition patterns and training data utilized by applications like Readiris to enhance text processing results. As a legacy format primarily containing static structural information, it presents a low security risk and has largely been superseded by modern data standards in current software releases.

How to validate .ytr files in Python

Python
def is_ytr(file_path: str) -> bool:
    """Check if file is a valid YTR by magic bytes."""
    signature = bytes([0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00])
    with open(file_path, "rb") as f:
        return f.read(16) == signature

How to validate .ytr files in Node.js

Node.js
function isYTR(buffer: Buffer): boolean {
  const signature = Buffer.from([0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00]);
  return buffer.subarray(0, 16).equals(signature);
}
Go
func IsYTR(data []byte) bool {
    signature := []byte{0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00}
    if len(data) < 16 {
        return false
    }
    return bytes.Equal(data[:16], signature)
}
