Server side optical character recognition based on NPM wrap of Tesseract.
Uses NPM package 'node-tesseract', version 0.2.7.
#Use
Exposes tesseract global object with the same NPM api.
An additional method is exposed, 'syncProcess', which returns the Tesseract results synchronously using the meteorhacks:async package. This is probably desirable when returning the result to the client via a Meteor Method.
See Examples folder.
return tesseract.syncProcess('/path/to/img');
// or
return tesseract.syncProcess('/path/to/img', options);#Config
If tesseract binary is in your path, it should work, no problem.
You can explicitly set your Tessdata_Prefix in your environment or Meteor.Settings. In which case, syncProcess will default to these, if they aren't explicitly defined in the options in your function call.
