You have to first download the plugin at your project's root then call ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-tesseract It's actually mentioned in the first step in the installation section 😄

Creating a file in the root of the cordova-plugin-tesseract folder named package.json and pasting in the code from the pull-request above:https://github.com/gustavomazzoni/cordova-plugin-tesseract/pull/28

Then running ionic cordova plugin add cordova-plugin-tesseract in the root of the project folder worked for me.
