Textify is a Javascript library that converts your images into text! Textify is very minimal and is less than 1kb!
You can add Textify to your site by downloading the file or using a cdn.
Download the main.min.js file from the main branch and add it to the root of your project.
Then add the script tag to your document's head to import the main script.
<script src="main.min.js"></script>Add the following script tag to your website
<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/lukemccrea/Textify/main.min.js"> </script>Now that you've imported the script, you can call the textify function passing the url for the image you want to use as the first argument.
textify(imageUrl).then(text => {
console.log(text) // "Textified" image
})Note: Textify makes use of the HTML canvas. Because of this, Textify only works within browsers and does not work in Node.js
If you try to display the textified image, you may get a distorted image. This is because all the characters do not have a height and width of the same value. In order to fix this, use square characters, or display the textified image using a font that makes all the characters have the same height and width.
