Tesseract.js is a pure javascript version of the Tesseract OCR Engine that can recognize English, Chinese, Russian, and 60 other languages.

Installation

Tesseract.js works with a <script> tag via local copy or cdn, or with npm (if you're using webpack / browserify).

<script/>

CDN

<script src='https://cdn.rawgit.com/naptha/tesseract.js/5ed4c0bc/dist/tesseract.js'></script>

<script>
var worker = createTesseractWorker('https://cdn.rawgit.com/naptha/tesseract.js/5ed4c0bc/dist/tesseract.worker.js')

worker.recognize('#my-image')
    .progress(function (p) { console.log('progress', p) })
    .then(function (result) { console.log('result', result) })
</script>

Local

First grab copies of tesseract.js and tesseract.worker.js from the dist folder. Then include tesseract.js on your page like this:

<script src='/path/to/tesseract.js'></script>

<script>
var worker = createTesseractWorker('/path/to/tesseract.worker.js')

worker.recognize('#my-image')
    .progress(function (p) { console.log('progress', p) })
    .then(function (result) { console.log('result', result) })
</script>
