tesseract-ocrHow can I use Tesseract OCR with Vue.js?

Tesseract OCR can be used with Vue.js to extract text from images. To do this, the Tesseract library must first be installed on the system. After installation, the Tesseract API can be used in a Vue.js component.

Example code

<template>
  <div>
    <img ref="image" src="someImage.jpg" />
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import Tesseract from 'tesseract.js';

export default {
  mounted() {
    Tesseract.recognize(this.$refs.image)
      .then(result => {
        console.log(result.text);
      });
  }
}
</script>

The example code will use the Tesseract API to recognize the text in an image someImage.jpg. The recognize function takes the image as a parameter and returns a promise which resolves to an object with the extracted text. The text can then be used in the application.

Parts of the code:

• import Tesseract from 'tesseract.js': imports the Tesseract library.
• Tesseract.recognize(this.$refs.image): uses the Tesseract API to recognize text in the image.
• .then(result => { console.log(result.text) }): handles the promise returned by the recognize function. The result.text property contains the extracted text.
