Tesseract.js is a javascript library that gets words in [almost any language](./docs/tesseract_lang_list.md) out of images. ([Demo](http://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/))
[![fancy demo gif](./docs/images/demo.gif)](http://tesseract.projectnaptha.com)
Tesseract.js works with script tags, [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), and [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/). [After you install it](#installation), using it is as simple as
Tesseract.js wraps an [emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten) [port](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core) of the [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) [OCR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition) Engine.
It works in the browser using [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/) or plain script tags with a [#CDN](CDN) and on the server with [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/).
After you [install it](#installation), using it is as simple as:
```javascript
import { TesseractWorker } from 'tesseract.js';
const worker = new TesseractWorker();
worker.recognize(myImage)
.progress((p) => { console.log('progress', p); })
.then((result) => { console.log('result', result); });
.progress(progress => {
console.log('progress', progress);
}).then(result => {
console.log('result', result);
});
```

## Provenance
Tesseract.js wraps an [emscripten](https://github.com/kripken/emscripten) [port](https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js-core) of the [Tesseract](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract) [OCR](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_character_recognition) Engine.
## Major changes in v2
- Upgrade to tesseract v4
- Support multiple languages at the same time, eg: eng+chi_tra for English and Traditional Chinese
- Supported image formats: png, jpg, bmp, pbm
# Installation
Tesseract.js works with a `<script>` tag via local copy or CDN, with webpack via `npm`, and on Node.js via `npm`. [Check out the docs](#docs) for a full treatment of the API.
## CDN
## Installation
Tesseract.js works with a `<script>` tag via local copy or CDN, with webpack via `npm` and on Node.js with `npm/yarn`.
You can simply include Tesseract.js with a CDN like this:
### CDN
```html
<!-- v2 -->
<script src='https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js@v2.0.0-alpha.10/dist/tesseract.min.js'></script>
```
After including your scripts, the `Tesseract` variable will be defined globally!
## npm
<!-- v1 -->
<script src='https://unpkg.com/tesseract.js@1.0.19/src/index.js'></script>
```
After including the script the `Tesseract` variable will be globally available.
### 2.x

## Development
To run a development copy of tesseract.js, first clone this repo.
```shell
> git clone https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js.git
```
## Contributing
Then, `cd tesseract.js && npm install && npm start`
### Development
To run a development copy of Tesseract.js do the following:
```shell
> cd tesseract.js
> npm install && npm start
... a bunch of npm stuff ...
# First we clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/naptha/tesseract.js.git
cd tesseract.js
Starting up http-server, serving ./
Available on:
http://127.0.0.1:3000
http://[your ip]:3000
# Then we install the dependencies
npm install
# And finally we start the development server
npm start
```
Then open `http://localhost:3000/examples/browser/demo.html` in your favorite browser. The devServer automatically rebuilds `tesseract.dev.js` and `worker.min.js` when you change files in the src folder.
## Building Static Files
After you've cloned the repo and run `npm install` as described in the [Development Section](#development), you can build static library files in the dist folder with
The development server will be available at http://localhost:3000/examples/browser/demo.html in your favorite browser.
It will automatically rebuild `tesseract.dev.js` and `worker.min.js` when you change files in the src folder.
### Building Static Files
To build the compiled static files just execute the following:
```shell
> npm run build
npm run build
```
This will output the files into the `dist` directory.
