Text from Image

This package helps you extract text from images. This works using the tesseract ocr engine.

Installation

Usage

This gives a promise which can be used further for various uses

const ReadText = require('text-from-image')

ReadText('./image.png').then(text => {
    console.log(text);
}).catch(err => {
    console.log(err);
})

Please take care

• Image can be Buffer, PNG, JPG, etc.
• The clear the image the better.
• You can use Sharp or other image processing library to modify image before sending it to the function
