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/))

Tesseract.js works in the browser using [webpack](https://webpack.js.org/), esm, 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 { createWorker } from 'tesseract.js';

(async () => {
  const worker = await createWorker('eng');
  const ret = await worker.recognize('https://tesseract.projectnaptha.com/img/eng_bw.png');
  console.log(ret.data.text);
  await worker.terminate();
})();
```
When recognizing multiple images, users should create a worker once, run `worker.recognize` for each image, and then run `worker.terminate()` once at the end (rather than running the above snippet for every image). 

## Installation
Tesseract.js works with a `<script>` tag via local copy or CDN, with webpack via `npm` and on Node.js with `npm/yarn`.

### CDN
```html
<!-- v5 -->
<script src='https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/tesseract.js@5/dist/tesseract.min.js'></script>
```
After including the script the `Tesseract` variable will be globally available and a worker can be created using `Tesseract.createW
