OpenCV vs Tesseract.js: What are the differences?
What is OpenCV? Open Source Computer Vision Library. OpenCV was designed for computational efficiency and with a strong focus on real-time applications. Written in optimized C/C++, the library can take advantage of multi-core processing. Enabled with OpenCL, it can take advantage of the hardware acceleration of the underlying heterogeneous compute platform.
What is Tesseract.js? Pure JavaScript OCR for 60 Languages. This library supports over 60 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.
OpenCV and Tesseract.js are primarily classified as "Image Processing and Management" and "Image Analysis API" tools respectively.
OpenCV and Tesseract.js are both open source tools. OpenCV with 35.8K GitHub stars and 26.2K forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Tesseract.js with 16K GitHub stars and 1.09K GitHub forks.
