Example doesn't work

[fair-man]

I am trying to run an example https://github.com/jonathanpalma/react-native-tesseract-ocr/blob/master/example/App.js but cant do it

steps to reproduce:

1. Create a new project with npm npx react-native init testproject
2. Install react-native-tesseract-ocr library and link dependencies npm i react-native-tesseract-ocr --save react-native link react-native-tesseract-ocr
3. Copy from https://github.com/jonathanpalma/react-native-tesseract-ocr/blob/master/example/App.js and paste to testproject/App.js
4. Install dependencies and run project npm i && npm run android
5. Run example in android emulator.

Actual result: [Error: java.io.IOException: Could not create directory]

@fair-man did you add the eng.traineddata file in your project?

No, I didn't. Where can I get the eng.traineddata file and where should I put it in my project?

I am also getting the same error. Could you please provide eng.traineddata file, it's not there in the project.

react-native-tesseract-ocr uses tess-two library for Android which is no longer maintained. If you still want to use it you can find trained data files here
