Tesseract.js is a JavaScript library that provides optical character recognition capabilities directly within web browsers and Node.js environments. It functions as a client-side engine, enabling the conversion of images containing printed text into machine-readable strings without the need for external APIs or server-side infrastructure. The library distinguishes itself by running the original C++ optical character recognition engine within the browser through WebAssembly modules. To maintain interface responsiveness during intensive computation, it utilizes background threads for parallel p
