tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR in a React Native application?

Using Tesseract OCR in a React Native application requires several steps:

1. Install the react-native-tesseract-ocr package. This package provides a JavaScript bridge to the Tesseract OCR library and allows React Native applications to use Tesseract OCR.

2. Use the RNTesseractOcr component provided by the package. This component is used to render the Tesseract OCR view.

3. Call the recognize function provided by the package. This function takes an image as an argument and returns the recognized text.

import { RNTesseractOcr } from "react-native-tesseract-ocr";

// Create a Tesseract OCR view
<RNTesseractOcr />

// Recognize text from an image
RNTesseractOcr.recognize(image)
    .then((result) => {
        console.log(result);
    })
    .catch((err) => {
        console.log(err);
    });
