Open Source Image Recognition Software

Tesseract.js is a pure Javascript port of the popular Tesseract OCR engine. Tesseract.js' library supports more than 100 languages, automatic text orientation and script detection, a simple interface for reading paragraph, word, and character bounding boxes. Tesseract.js can run either in a browser and on a server with NodeJS. Tesseract.js is a javascript library that gets words in almost any spoken language out of images. The main Tesseract.js functions (ex. recognize, detect) take an image parameter, which should be something that is like an image. What's considered "image-like" differs depending on whether it is being run from the browser or through NodeJS.
