Tesseract Node.js

Node bindings for Tesseract OCR library. Currently, only supports Mac.

Dependencies

In order to make this library work you have to install Tesseract on your machine. I highly recommend to just use brew. Otherwise, you can look here and follow official installation instructions.

brew install tesseract

All you have to do after that is to install this library with yarn or npm.

yarn install tesseract-nodejs

Example

import { Tesseract } from 'tesseract-nodejs'

const tesseract = new Tesseract()
const outputText = tesseract.read(__dirname + '/example.png')

console.log(`
R E S U L T:

${outputText}
`)

// R E S U L T:
//
// { you will find Tesseract output here }

TODO

• [ ] Add support for more functions
• [ ] Add support for other systems (not likely to happen any time soon)
