I was working on putting this in a psa / qml webview for Ubuntu touch and Sailfishos and realized while deploying that there are wasm files. Is this a requirement?!!!!

The WASM files are used for auto-generating alternative text from images using OCR (tesseract.js). If you don't include it, then that feature will probably fail.
