How to use in a mobile app, without downloading Tesseract Library ? #40

pinpontitit commented 2 years ago

Hi, I would like to use this tesseract wrapper in a mobile app. The server would use Express and be hosted online.

But it says in the README that for using this module, we first need to download Tesseract Library to the computer. Of course the people using the app will not download this library to their phone.

Is it possible to download the tesseract library in the Express Server ?

Thanks

Hi, to use this module you need to install the "tesseract software" on the system that host your express sever. You can directly integrate tesseract in your mobile app (react native for example) with tesseract.js project. It's tesseract software "rewrite" in javascript.
