In browser environment, `tesseract.js` simply provides the API layer. Internally, it opens a WebWorker to handle requests. That worker itself loads code from the Emscripten-built `tesseract.js-core` which itself is hosted on a CDN. Then it dynamically loads language files hosted on another CDN.

Because of this we recommend loading `tesseract.js` from a CDN. But if you really need to have all your files local, you can pass extra arguments to `TesseractWorker` to specify custom paths for workers, languages, and core.
In Node.js environment, the only path you may want to customize is languages/langPath.
```javascript

Tesseract.recognize(image, langs, {

workerPath: 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js@v2.0.0/dist/worker.min.js',
langPath: 'https://tessdata.projectnaptha.com/4.0.0',

corePath: 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js-core@v2.0.0/tesseract-core.wasm.js',

})
```
Or
```javascript
const worker = createWorker({

langPath: 'https://tessdata.projectnaptha.com/4.0.0',

corePath: 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js-core@v2.0.0/tesseract-core.wasm.js',
});
```
### workerPath
A string specifying the location of the [worker.js](./dist/worker.min.js) file.
### langPath
A string specifying the location of the tesseract language files, with default value 'https://tessdata.projectnaptha.com/4.0.0'. Language file URLs are calculated according to the formula `langPath + langCode + '.traineddata.gz'`.
### corePath
5 years ago
A string specifying the location of the [tesseract.js-core library](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core), with default value 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js-core@v2.0.0/tesseract-core.wasm.js' (fallback to tesseract-core.asm.js when WebAssembly is not available).

Another WASM option is 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js-core@v2.0.0/tesseract-core.js' which is a script that loads 'https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js-core@v2.0.0/tesseract-core.wasm'. But it fails to fetch at this moment.
