# Tesseract for node.js | ||
|
||
[](https://nodei.co/npm/node-tesseract/) | ||
|
||
A simple wrapper for the Tesseract OCR package for node.js | ||
|
||
## Requirements | ||
|
||
* Tesseract 3.01 or higher is needed for this to work | ||
|
||
## Installation | ||
There is a hard dependency on the [Tesseract project](https://github.com/tesseract-ocr/tesseract). You can find installation instructions for various platforms on the project site. For Homebrew users, the installation is quick and easy. | ||
|
||
brew install tesseract --with-all-languages | ||
|
||
The above will install all of the language packages available, if you don't need them all you can remove the `--all-languages` flag and install them manually, by downloading them to your local machine and then exposing the `TESSDATA_PREFIX` variable into your path: | ||
|
||
export TESSDATA_PREFIX=~/Downloads/ | ||
|
||
You can then go about installing the node-module to expose the JavaScript API: | ||
|
||
npm install node-tesseract | ||
|
||
## Usage | ||
|
||
```JavaScript | ||
var tesseract = require('node-tesseract'); | ||
|
||
// Recognize text of any language in any format | ||
tesseract.process(__dirname + '/path/to/image.jpg',function(err, text) { | ||
if(err) { | ||
console.error(err); | ||
} else { | ||
console.log(text); | ||
} | ||
}); | ||
|
||
// Recognize German text in a single uniform block of text and set the binary path | ||
|
||
var options = { | ||
l: 'deu', | ||
psm: 6, | ||
binary: '/usr/local/bin/tesseract' | ||
}; | ||
|
||
tesseract.process(__dirname + '/path/to/image.jpg', options, function(err, text) { | ||
if(err) { | ||
console.error(err); | ||
} else { | ||
console.log(text); | ||
} | ||
}); | ||
``` | ||
|
||
