Can I do OCR all-in-browser with this, without involving any backend? Not much familiar with OCR accuracy metrics, how much accurate is Tesseract?

  Tesseract works well with clean input, though in my experience it suffers greatly as soon as anything gets noisy.

  Yes, this runs in your browser.

  > Can I do OCR all-in-browser with this Literally third sentence of the description: > It works in the browser using webpack or plain script tags with a CDN and on the server with Node.js.

    To be honest it is a confusing sentence. If it requires node js server then the answer should be no. Also, its confusing to me why it requires nodejs server ...

      But this literally says it doesn't? It's "or".

  I cannot give you numbers - it would be nice to have a benchmark -, but I can tell you results are quite satisfactory, and if compared to some OCR results you find around from mainstream commercial products, it can be much better than them if you pre-process the input. It may miss a few features (some which I needed I had to code in).

  Yes, but Tesseract is very inaccurate. Think "early 2000s speech recognition" accuracy.
