Experiences with node.js + Tesseract

Labs time with Tesseract and node.

Using:

• node.js
• node-tesseract

How to experiment:

Install Tesseract-OCR

brew install tesseract --all-languages

Install all needed node modules

npm install

Start working with your documents/receipts

You can delete everything under /data_extracted/ and /documents/. They're there just to exemplify the experience.

Add your new documents/receipts at /documents/ and run:

node extract.js

You should be able to see your extracted data under /data_extracted/.

Other notes:

Missing: tests. You can use this code as you like. No guarantees.
