Copying text online is certainly an action we do many times during the day, but the problem is that the text from the image cannot be copied - we have to retype it. However, today there are intelligent OCR tools for image text recognition.

Tesseract OCR is one such tool, ie. a package that contains everything you need to recognize text from an image. Best of all, it recognizes almost all languages ​​around the world - including Serbian!

Of course, Tesseract OCR is completely free and open-source, which means we have a bunch of applications that use it. This is how the Tesseract JS library was created, which means that we can use this powerful OCR tool in our favorite web browser!

What we are interested in are finished products that rely on Tesseract and in this case Tesseract JS.
