Recognize text in images using OCR (optical character recognition) techniques.
Based on node-tesseract.
Installation
This package has a hard dependency on Tesseract. You must have Tesseract installed on your laptop/server to use it.
Installing Tesseract
For Homebrew users, installing Tesseract is quick and easy:
brew install tesseract --with-all-languages
You can find installation instructions for various platforms on the Tesseract project site.
Tesseract Version
This probably works with any version of Tesseract v3.01 or higher, but I have only tested extensively with:
machinepack-ocr: ∑ tesseract -v tesseract 3.04.01 leptonica-1.73 libjpeg 8d : libpng 1.6.24 : libtiff 4.0.6 : zlib 1.2.5
Installing this machinepack
Now you can install the machinepack in your project:
$ npm install machinepack-ocr
