@enfpdev/node-uni-ocr is a native Node.js library that brings system-level OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to Node.js and Electron by porting the uniOCR engine (written in Rust) via napi-rs.
It enables easy, cross-platform OCR functionality (Windows, macOS, and experimental WASI/Linux) without requiring users to set up complex build tools or environments.
pnpm add @enfpdev/node-uni-ocr
# or
npm install @enfpdev/node-uni-ocrimport { recognize } from '@enfpdev/node-uni-ocr';
import fs from 'fs';
// OCR from file path
const result = await recognize('test.png');
console.log(result.text, result.confidence);
// OCR from buffer
const buffer = fs.readFileSync('test.png');
const result2 = await recognize(buffer, {
languages: ['en', 'ko'],
confidence_threshold: 0.5,
timeout: 10,
});
console.log(result2.text);
