## How does tesseract.js download and keep \*.traineddata?
When you execute recognize() function (ex: `recognize(image, 'eng')`), the language model to download is determined by the 2nd argument of recognize(). (`eng` in the example)
Tesseract.js will first check if \*.traineddata already exists. (browser: [IndexedDB](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/IndexedDB_API), Node.js: fs, in the folder you execute the command) If the \*.traineddata doesn't exist, it will fetch \*.traineddata.gz from [tessdata](https://github.com/naptha/tessdata), ungzip and store in IndexedDB or fs, you can delete it manually and it will download again for you.
## How can I train my own \*.traineddata?
For tesseract.js v2, check [TrainingTesseract 4.00](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/TrainingTesseract-4.00)
For tesseract.js v1, check [Training Tesseract 3.03–3.05](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract/wiki/Training-Tesseract-3.03%E2%80%933.05)
## How can I get HOCR, TSV, Box, UNLV, OSD?
Starting from 2.0.0-alpha.10, you can get all these information in the final result.
```javascript
import Tesseract from 'tesseract.js';
const { TesseractWorker } = Tesseract;
const worker = new TesseractWorker();
worker
.recognize('https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png')
.then((result) => {
console.log(result.text);
console.log(result.hocr);
console.log(result.tsv);
console.log(result.box);
console.log(result.unlv);
console.log(result.osd);
});
```
